Can you (or anybody) explain the use of tabs versus just having more than one broswer open? In effect, having, e.g., five IE browsers open shows "tabs" representing each browser in IE6, although this is not true "tabs" but just looks like a tab when the browser is minimized.
What is a "tab", and what advantage is there to "tabs" in IE7 vs 6? I assume there is just one open browser with "tabs" but I do not see the difference.
It basically just saves space on the toolbar.
In Mozilla you can even bookmark a group of tabs. For example when you click to open FR you could have separate tabs for "Latest Comment", "Latest Articles" and "My Comments" open all at once.
For me its about keeping th eclutter down..
The biggest advantage I see is that you don't have multiple browser processes running. I can browse to multiple sites (I actually have three home pages), without burning up system resources.
If you want to experience tabs on IE now, download the MSN toolbar. It also comes with a killer desktop search engine.
Although, I'm not a big fan on tabs. I end up opening more IE windows. I do see where some people would prefer tabs, I'm just an old dog that can't learn new tricks I guess.
