Ten things I hate about tabbed browsing...

[Kenazo]

1. X'ing the window by habit when I have ~20 tabs open.

2. Repeat till 10 or ad nauseum.

I think I might be the only one that feels this way, but I just don't need tab browsing. I'm fine going up the my favorites and selecting the next page I want to go to. I'm not on a dialy-up, so its almost like turning a page of a book.

But, to each his own.

Mozilla asks you if you are sure when you close a window with multiple tabs

:heart: myie2. iunno if the other tabbed browser programs do this, but with this program, alt+z re-opens the last closed tab. if you go up the 'edit' menu, you can reopen the last 10-15 tabs.

edit: bah, misunderstood what was being said. my bad. yeah, i vote for being choosing the 'prompt before close' option.

to be fair--no one really "needs" tabbed browsing. it's just for convenience (just like the scroll wheel).
it's nice to be able to open up all your favorites with one click.

Safari NEEDS to warn you when you hit Meta+Q instead of Meta+W...

I use it more for opening up links from an article or something on a page that I am reading so I can finish what I'm reading first and then go to whatever the link(s) were.

same. i use IE locked down only.

That's exactly why I gave up on using a tabbed browser. I did that all the time. Also, do tabbed browsers work with alt-tab (meaning, can you alt-tab to a different... tab?)? I really don't need a tabbed browser anyway. I just turn off IE's obnoxious feature that groups similar items in the taskbar (I don't know who's genius idea that was, but it sucks), and I make my taskbar two rows high. The two row taskbar is not just because I open a lot of browser windows, but also because I run a lot of programs while I'm working.

Well it's not control... not alt... it's a Meta key!

In FF, there's a plugin that allows you to swith between tabs by holding down RMB and then using the scrool wheel to select the tab you want to go to, no keyboard needed
