Hi Dark,

This is really way off topic for the list so I'll consider this my
last message on the subject. However, there are certainlyh advantages
to having multiple tabs open in a single browser window. Especially,
if you are sighted which is the target market the new browsers are
designed for in the first place.

If you are perhaps shopping for a certain Christmas present you can
compare prices with other websites simply by opening wal-mart.com,
amazon.com, overstock.com, etc all in the same window and see all of
the prices and features on screen at once. You can bring the one you
want to look at more closely to the foreground, but if you can see it
having all of that information right there on the screen is easier
than trying to open every one of those websites in separate windows.

I know when I was looking for laptops there were several I was
considering buying. The easiest way to narrow it down was to open each
page in its own tab and quickly toggle through the tabs to compare
information by looking at them side by side so to speak. I think it
was easier than having say 10 windows open and having to hunt around
for the one I wanted when all I had to do is control+tab or
control+shift+tab to the tab I wanted to view.

In short, multitab browsing, the tool bars, etc is like anything else
in life. Its there if you want it, if you like the feature, and if not
you don't have to use it.  It comes down to personal choice.

Cheers!
