&gt; I just don&#x27;t like having my browser history on display for the world to see.<p>Same here; I turned off tiles immediately, in favor of a blank tab.  If I want one of the more common sites I visit, it&#x27;s generally 1-2 letters away via the awesomebar: Ctrl-t l [enter] is LWN, Ctrl-t y [enter] is the YouTube Subscriptions page, etc.
