It gets rid of the cluster fuck caused by too many damn browser windows.


What "cluster fuck"? Windows give you versatility you just can't get with tabs. Literally impossible. You can't alt-tab out of an application into a tab, only a window. You need to then switch tabs to go to your website. I find that really annoying and counter-productive. When I am in TF2 I can alt-tab directly to the person who is talking to me on AIM. (Again non tabbed) Or I can directly alt-tab out of any game to check my e-mail, or refresh a thread. I completely fail to see how any productivity is gained with tabs. Even if you say you gain taskbar space, as soon as the taskbar fills up IE collapses into a single task bar instance that you can click on to select a window like your tabs allow.

Willfully choosing a browser without tabs seems foolhardy, in my opinion.


What about for people who... DONT LIKE TABS?

Quote:

Yes, to each their own. Still, I, and seemingly most people, tend to find tabbed browsing to be a god send.



So because you like tabs, I should? You say "to each their own" but the still shoots that right out of the water.

Heaven forbid sites actually promote what they like. You're not getting pissed off because you hate seeing sites trying to tell you to get the browser they like better. You're just getting pissed off because they're promoting a browser you don't like. It'd be like me getting annoyed because a site continually promotes the Democrat Party. I'd hate to see that everywhere I go, too. However, I know if I were to see advertisements for the Libertarian Party everywhere on a site, I'd be more proud than appalled. Unless, of course, those ads and suggestions are done via pop-ups. Then I universally hate them.


No I am getting pissed off because every site on earth feels it needs to push Firefox on me. I know it is out there, every so often I give it another try thinking maybe this time it will click but it never does. I don't need to be pestered on every freaking site about it. You probably don't realize how often it happens since you use firefox, use IE for a day and just watch how many of those little "helpful reminders" you see. There is a difference between a little "I like Firefox *thumbs up*" badge that someone puts on their site which literally is promoting what they like, and the kind of Jehovah's Witness style bothering that goes on.

I forgot too there is one feature that will keep me from ever getting Vista and also keep me from using Firefox as my main browser. Integration. I use the fact that I can go to the top of a youtube window and type My Computer and be at My Computer countless times a day. Likewise I can be looking in my /b/ folder and then just come right here to Renegade Forums without having to open or touch anything else.
