I like it a lot, I just wish you can have power over being able to change or remove shortcuts. This was the reason I stopped using the tab a while ago when I first got this new tab. Because there are shortcut's that I don't want such easy access too such as Instagram or Youtube because I find them addictive and easily distractive, and unfortunately you don't have a choice over the shortcuts on display.
