There are a lot of goodies like built-in notes, easels (a canvas to save stuff), and boosts (css monkeypatching), as well as UI sugar like the command bar (access all commands via cmd+T) but the killer feature for me is the ease of making profiles (sandboxed cache and cookies) and spaces (the left sidebar holding pinned and ephemeral tabs) work together.

On my work machine, for example, I have a "space" that's tied to my personal gmail account, so I can check that email if I need to, without worrying about being logged in or out of my work email (which is also a google account). Switching between spaces is just a swipe.

I also spin up a space when I'm working on something, so those proliferating research tabs don't interfere with other steady work, which stay in their own spaces. Then I just delete the space when I'm done.
