There is nearly no lag between multiple instances.
Pro Incorporates tasks, notes, and collaboration
Plus: auto save, sharing permissions, various modes for organization, tab suspension, (optional!) new tab, layout switching, multi-platform, file attachments, most web apps supported, and its actively developed and updated with new features. With some ingenuity and a few extra extensions, I've even included my local directory resources in my client workspaces with in-place editing.

Due to NANO's structure it requires 0 fees.

Nano is so fast that can't be tracked by anyone.
Pro SoV
It has 0 supply emission
Cons
Con Worst than alternatives
Con Paid
For free accounts, you can only have 5 personal workspaces and 3 shared workspaces.
Con Application concept changing all the time
They still seem to be searching heavily for their vision of productivity focussed tab management. Big changes in user interface have occured in the last years. The UI is more complex than needed and it is not clear what they want to achieve.
Con Duplicating and loosing windows and tabs
Sometimes window sessions are duplicated and have to be merged by hand. More than once sessions and tabs have been lost. Mostly because it couldn't cope with Chrome restarting. Once also because the backend was updated and it went wrong. Workona has not at all proven to be reliable.
Con Doesn't always play well with others
Even though most of the bugs and glitches are a result of conflicts with other extensions or browser features (e.g. edge rolling our new tab management features)... it takes a lot of trial an error to figure out what works. Some feedback by way of a useful error message would help.
Con Traceable transactions
Not anonymous, but there is discussion to change this.
Con Lower/slow adoption
Perfect for peer to peer but lot of work to do to get business on board.
Con Strongly opposed by Bitcoin maximalists because it threatens Bitcoins existence
As an example, the censoring by moderators of the biggest cryptocurrency forum on Reddit /r/cryptocurrency.
Con Prone to hoarding
Many people might want to hold nano longer term as demand grows and supply is limited. However fortunately there are no direct financial rewards for holding nano as opposed to proof of stake currencies.
Con Lesser known compared to other alternatives - it doesn't have much presence outside of the crypto space
The Nano Foundation doesn't have a massive marketing budget. Nano does only one thing, and that one thing directly competes with Bitcoin. In the short term it's going to be very difficult for Nano.
