At 1:56 in the above video you see him long press a link and the option to open in new tab appears. It's just now you don't have a tabs button/option in the ... menu like before. You simply long press the back button and select your tab from there now when switching.

That's good, but what if I want to launch a new tab manually and put a new URL in? I guess i'll just wait and see.
