I should probably point out that this was not made by me, and is not available for sale (which is a shame - I’d buy it!). It was actually built by Bazmarc from the Trossen Robotics Community Forums. It made my day!

- Tab processes, a very clever idea. If one tab crashes, the rest are left unaffected.
- No “favoritism”, you can use other search engines/ applications/ whatever if you wish
