Tabbed Browsing
Tabbed browsing in Firefox is way useful. Take this post from Sam Gentile:
“First this one with this, and then him. Now only if we can have this one go too.“
I didn’t have a clue what he was referring to at the very first fraction of a second glance, so a quick “Open Link in New Tab” was selected for each link. It was easy then to quickly select the tabs to view the content and do that while the pages in the tabs were loading. There are still some sites that don’t render or work well with Firefox. This begs the question of what would happen if IE came out with tabbed browsing. I’d probably use IE more just for the convenience of not having to start another browser when coming across a site that doesn’t render quite right. The other areas that Firefox beats IE easily is the web page search user interface and download handling. In retrospect, you’ve got to ask why Microsoft paid so little attention to enhancing IE functionality this millenia? Its such a strategic functionality area.
