I have never really understood the point of tabbed browsing; can you explain why it is important? Is it suited to a particular kind of use?


I tend to have one window per 'activity'. An activity usually equates to a single site, but sometimes if I'm searching for something I might have (for example) the first tab is my google results, and the rest are pages linked from it.

I guess I tend to multitask while browsing, and a window is a good way of keeping a bunch of related things together.

It's particularly useful for reading threaded discussions on sites where if the comments get nested too deeply they're collapsed on the main page - I can start a new tab with the sub-thread without losing where I was up to on the main page, and without creating yet-another-window.

I wasn't expecting to find it all that useful, but now I've tried it I really wouldn't want to go back.

HTH,
Christopher.
