What is Toby?

Toby is grouchy. Toby wonders why you think you need so many damn tabs open at the same time anyway.

Who uses Toby?

Hello magazine says that people that like to be in control of everything all of the time (like browser tabs) might be using Toby.

What are the benfits of using Toby?
