I am someone who really likes to share articles/funny pics/random stuff and it's a great way to do it privately! PLUS it's awesome to have a little orange square telling me I have some awesome tabs to look at :). Also the discovery mode is great for when I'm bored and lazy, good content is just one click away!!
