Key feature: Maintain browser state while switching machines

> Even if you shutdown or switch to a different computer, your browser will always be on. Exactly how you left it. That means you’ll never lose tabs that remind you of something to do or contain an article you want to read later. You can quickly jump back to work.

I haven't seen that discussed here, but it seems key.

Of course Mighty is not the only way to implement it; if Mighty takes off — or even if it ends up looking like a good idea — watch Chrome natively implement something equivalent.

Chrome and Firefox already sync your open tabs so you can what's open across all of your devices. Go here to see it in chrome:

chrome://history/syncedTabs

I've had open tab sync across all my devices (including my phone and tablet) for like a decade now. Both Firefox and Chrome offer it.

Maintaining state across sessions by storing your whole browser on a server somewhere is a cute solution, until you need to access that server while traveling and now your ping to it is 300ms instead of 30.

Yep. They built something great (if there's no foul play in demo) but they don't know the correct market where this can generate revenue.
