There's a huge discussion in this thread on tabs being slow, which made me wonder: is it necessary for browsers to have tabs?

Windows desktop apps work great without tabs. Could life be better without tabs?

There was a time when browsers had no tabs at all. I remember clearly Internet Explorer 6 had no tabs and Microsoft added it in version 7 to catch up with other browsers.

You must be in your 20s or younger :-D
