Multiple comparisons and sequential hypothesis testing / early stopping aren't the same problem. There might be a way to wrangle an F test into a sequential hypothesis testing approach, but it's not obvious (to me anyway) how one would do so. In multiple comparisons each additional comparison introduces a new group with independent data; in sequential hypothesis testing each successive test adds a small amount of additional data to each group so all results are conditional. Could you elaborate or provide a link?
