Goals & Non-Goals
Goals

- forget everything about tabs, bookmarks and history
- one interface for everything - seamless browsing
Non-Goals
- do minor enhancements to the old interface
- build on top of outdated ideas
Description
there should be more. really.

Idea: All in One
Toolwindows
- Toolwindows make no sense. No one needs extra windows so they should be inside the browser.
- Toolwindows could be some kind of app. So lets redefine the following:
Window=window.open(,'name','toolbar=no,location=no,status=no,menubar=no, scrollbars=no,resizable=no,width=500,height=200')
this could mean: create an "app" which is 500x200 in pixels. This box can be moved around, snapped, dragged, dropped. It doesn't depend on anything. Its just there and does something. Maybe an online radio, a chat, an calculator. There could be an extra app-bar or somewhat.
Files
What happens when you click a link to media file in your browser? Yeah, it opens the file in a new tab or in the same tab. Why not open the image, video or music file in a new overlay that is always on top, movable and includes the typical controls?
MORE TO COME
Links
APPS
- Googles Web App Store gestartet
- Firefox 4 Beta 2 - Mit App Tabs und schnellerem Scrollen

ZUI (Zooming User Interfaces)
- Zooming_user_interface on Wikipedia
- Zoomable website navigation
- Microsoft Pivot
