If someone is interested on the discussion about the current design:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=94256

I'll just note that epiphany way is a modified version of the first model hyatt
is discussing. We solved at least the problem of "You also get to read links 
from left to right instead of right to left".

The problem on intuitiveness is still there though.
In general I think epiphany way is less intuitive then hyatt model 2 but better
once you get used to it. That's also how user seem to react to it. 
"Why it behave that way ? It doesnt seem very intuitive". First time.
"Wow epiphany has the best tab handling". After a few days.
So it's an hard choice.


I'm happy my preference for background opening is confirmed too ;)
