Strengths
- Extremely high level of customization (themes, layouts, keyboard shortcuts) praised in 90% of positive reviews
- Superior tab management features like tab stacking, tiling, and session saving are frequently highlighted as game-changing
- Built-in tools like notes, calendar, email client, and download manager reduce need for external apps
