nice try Microsoft has finally added tabs to IE6 as part of it's MSN toolbar kit. The implemention is fairly rudimentary, and there is improvement to be had. The memory footprint for the multiple tabs can get quite large. When a link is not a text hyperlink, the ability to "open tab" is missing, probably an oversight. Also, if you change the toolbar settings in one tab, they don't propagate to the other tabs. Shows that the way MS did tabs isn't as cohesive as firefox.

My main beef is that IE flashes when you switch over to another tab. Rather annoying. Plus I need my all-in-one-gestures, which is now indispensable.

After further analysis, firefox doesn't seem to immediately release the memory used for multiple tabs after you close them down. However, if you minimize firefox then maximize it, that seems to release the memory. Same for IE.

It's a good start at least. Sticking with firefox as my main, but will use IE as well.

P.S. my blog is nice but I miss having my own website to mess around with. Time to brainstorm ...  ¶ 11:00 PM
