<p style="margin-bottom:0.2in;line-height:100%">I've never used
the browser much, I can't say I would miss it if it's retired. <br>
<br>
The
one thing I'd miss a bit is its capability at quickly previewing
datasets. I'm wondering if this could be somehow integrated into the
QGIS' browser dock (maybe now made possible following the major layer
registry / project refactoring which has taken place prior to 3.0?).
Just like the information panel, we could have a preview panel that
renders a preview of the vector/raster dataset.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom:0.2in;line-height:100%">Anyhow; +1 to see
the standalone browser gone. :)</p>
