Hi, but Netscape 7.0 has the tabs also, and I don't think I will be going back to IE.
All your input is very interesting.

Yes but Mozilla also has add blocking, a pop up blocker, is more up to date, non-bloated, and non AOLerised.

If your using Netscape 7 you should really be running Mozilla. There just isn't any reason to run Netscape.

What do you mean? Even on OSX it rules! Just click on a link and don't let go of the click for a couple of seconds and you'll see the context menu. Select "Open in New Tab".

It makes browsing ATOT threads a lot easier...

Edit: In Windows, set preferences so that a middle-click automatically opens a link in a new tab.

The biggest reason for using Mozilla versus IE is for security. IE has huge gaping holes to be explioted, and MS shows no desire to eliminate them.

As mentioned, tabbed browsing is great, especially for web forums and going through links to other sites. The popup disable is fantastic, I didnt even realize how good it was until I ran IE on someone else's computer. I dont think its been mentioned yet, but you can also "block images from this server", and block most ads in webpages. No more distracting flashing ads for me!

Yes, tabs rock. Began using them this morning. I can see how those who are on dial-up benefit greatly from this. Also good for other uses.
