Tabbit FAQs
- Is Tabbit Chromium-based?
- Assume Chromium-class internals until Meituan publishes detailed architecture docs, then validate extension compatibility for your must-have tools.
- Should enterprises standardize on Tabbit immediately?
- Only after security, identity, logging, and patch SLAs meet internal standards. Pilot on non-sensitive cohorts first.
