Examples
Reflection
Mockups
Maybe URLs should be listed with "TAB" icon to the end od he line. If the URL is tapped, the URL is open in the current tab. If the "Tab" icon is tapped, the existing tab is open.
Currently, entering term in URL bar triggers listing:
- dictionary terms and phrases
- bookmarked URLs
- history URLs
Maybe, URL in tabs shall be scanned to and offered in different colour style or with their favicon in square.
