Hoping you can add a feature to save concepts to later review and ability to search them. It's always sad when you find a useful concept but you mistakenly close it, please add search function or a way to browse them.

It's great. But it's slow. When I have many tabs open it takes up to 20 seconds to load the new tab, it's not my computer. I think it makes the overall browser slower.
