Tabbed Browsing

ziggy on 2002-04-18T15:33:45

Tabbed browser windows are now a required feature in my browser.

Looking at my desktop at the moment, I've got three Mozilla windows opened at the moment (just closed a fourth), each of which have a few tabs open. Mostly this is just a convenient reminder of pages I want to read when I have some time.

I used to use konqueror. Having Konqueror 30 icons on the desktop at once was a pain, and encouraged me to read through some of this stuff. With a handful of tabs open, I don't see as much stuff to be read, so I have an easier time leaving it for later perusal.

What took so long?

This is something I've wanted from day 2 of my Internet browsing experience.

It's nice, but I find that all the browsers that actually support it are slow, buggy and tend to crash (Galeon, Mozilla). I'm guessing it will be a new feature in IE 7.0 (whenever that comes out).

What exactly is tabbed browsing? Is it having the browser windows contained by a master window? I are confused!

Lots of different browsers are putting in tabs for browsing currently. It is all basically just MDI.

Aha, yes. I've used Opera for a year or so now, and love that feature. I quiver in horror every time I'm forced to use a non-tabbed browser.

Thanks for the explanation.
