Yes agreed, toolbar complexity is my other worry (too many tool icons at the top level). > I could maybe add reload and home in a toolbar, The feature that strikes me as most complex is the new add tab feature, I know many adults who do not understand this feature. How about we move the add tab button down into the View sub-toolbar? The other tab navigation tools could also go there in the future. Seems to be a reasonable grouping to me along with the existing Zoom out, Zoom in, Fullscreen, Show/Hide Tray view features. > or add a > small stop/reload button inside the URL bar (but I'm not sure such > useful features should be hidden so well). I'd vote +.9 for this, I'd rather we didn't have to use another UI button design vs. nice large (finger sized) toolbar bar buttons, but Sugar does already use this design for adding the Clear (x) widget in to the right of all Search fields – and we really do need to save the space in the Browse toolbar now that some deployment folks are calling for the addition of a home button.
