Comment on Raven - a Mac site-specific web browserparent

Comments

I'm very technical, and I have no idea what that means. They are talking technology instead of benefits. Why do I care about all these "instances"? Chrome creates new instances all the time, too, but I would imagine Raven thinks it has some advantage over Chrome.

And what, technically, is an "instance"? Do they mean "instance" as a process or "instance" from a UX perspective, meaning that the browser functions as though each site were in a unique container (autocomplete, etc., isolated)?

Most importantly from a privacy perspective, does this mean cross-site beacons don't work? Can I stay logged into Facebook without the Like button following me in other tabs?
