Wah. Requires javascript to follow a freakin' "Next" link. L.A.M.E. At least they named the images sensibly. And hey, it's a Scott McCloud comic!

Who cares? Actually, I might, since I mostly click on tabs, rather than the location bar or back buttons. Leaving them closer to the content is a GOOD thing. Hopefully that's configurable. > You want an innovation, how about *tiling*. At this point, my monitor > is so wide that small paragraphs barely fill one line. Opening up a new window doesn't do it for you? Safari, for all its flaws, lets me drag tabs between windows, so I can arrange the tabs as I please and tile the windows as appropriate. Firefox doesn't do that, or if it does, I haven't yet figured out how. > I would rather have nine tiles rather than 9 tabs. My monitor isn't quite that big. Dunno if I'd be ready for that much screen real-estate. Maybe in a year or two. :) -- 1920x1280 across 24 diagonal inches, work and home, Linux and OS X. Yay!
