Tabbed Browsing IE7 I dont get it.

[dannyjo22]

So I finally clicked yes to install update of IE To 7. Looks fine even though i'm used to the look of 6 and i'm a creature of habit. Never bothered with firefox, dont see the point. I only have it installed to save pictures from the net that are blocked copyrighted with IE.

Well anyway I really dont see all the fuss with the tabbed browsing. Having the tabs at the top seems no more advantageous than having the open windows in the toolbar?

Sure you can open links in another tab but so what, that may have been usefull in dial up days but hardly saves much time with broadband.

What am i missing, whats the point. Seriously considering rolling back.

Hmmm yeah I will turn the Tabs off. I suppose that would be better than rolling back. I was more curious to see if I was missing something or doing something wrong.

Seems not.

Taskbar space isn't really a problem with the dell 2405 so I guess I dont need tabs.

I never really used firefox because it's slower for me and I dont really buy the vunrability argument of IE. I have never yet been hit with anything in 6 odd years and neither have any of my friends that use sensible surfing practices and half decent software.

The only ones of my friends that have had issues have been clicking yes on suspect sites when they should be closing down
