As always, the question stands as if OLPC should try to do better than
the current software offerings can do for its users, or if we should
just use what already exists. I'm more than happy to experiment with
WebKit, Firefox, etc I just hope that we make decisions based on
actual feedback from our actual users.

Also, we should try to think out of the box, instead of panicking and
resorting to all-or-nothing final solutions. One example: what if the
need underlying the request for tabs in Browse could be better
fulfilled by further improving the activity switching operation in
Sugar?
