Would something like the Visual Bookmarks in OmniWeb be a better way to go?

To be honest I can't remember what it was like without tabs any longer

^^^I do. They use IE at work and I can't download anything or use portable versions because of the way the system is set up. I open all the threads I want to read in each tab, per page. Makes it easier to keep, er, tabs on which threads you've read. |

Apple would just use CoverFlow as an alternative. They seem to be using it for anything or everything these days. |

Are they insane????? Tabbed browsing rocks! Though it was better in FF2 than FF3 (Stupid delay in FF3 is completely uncalled for) |

I like tabbed browsing. I can’t imagine being without it now. |

Indeed, I'm very glad the dark days of having multiple instances of your browser open are long gone! |

On the other hand, the amount of times one of the web apps at work crashes Firefox, I wish every windows was a completely new instance... |

I do like the fact they are looking for a better alternative. If someone has a better idea, then great. I wish I could come up with one! Tabs work fine until you have too many. Windows can stack similar apps on the taskbar, so perhaps that would be a start. Only two of my 10 tabs are on the same site though, and I often have 20 or more. I miss my wide screen monitor!
Absolutely. I was kinda hoping they'd introduce that with 3.1 but I've not heard anything. It's the only good thing about Chrome, imo. |

Hmm, doesn't show many tabs... Shows about 5 of the 15 tabs I currently have open... Nice idea and useful on widescreen displays, where vertical space is an issue... As to replacing tabs, why not? Just because tabs rock, doesn't mean there isn't a better concept out there. Times change. Microsoft are evidently changing the Save icon from being a floppy disk to something else, because we now have a generation of users who have never seen a floppy drive, let alone a floppy disk... |
