It starts private
Trackers and ads are blocked before they load, and each site's data and permissions live in one place.
Tab groups
Group tabs by what you're working on, and see every group's tabs at a glance in Tab Gallery.
Tiles
Open pages side by side and work across them without switching back and forth.
Find
The most powerful Find in any browser. Every tab, every match, one search away.
Reading
Article View strips a page down to what you came for, and Outline turns its headings into a map.

Highlight a line, leave yourself a note, or pin a passage to come back to.
Page Monitors
Watch the part of a page you care about, and Bigfoot tells you when it changes.
