Tabs for IE6
When I read a news article over at Google claiming that the MSN Search Toolbar would add tabbed browsing functionality to Internet Explorer 6, I just had to try it. It was a severely disapointing experience and the toolbar was promptly uninstalled. It felt like a half assed attempt to keep up with every other browser on the market that already offers this functionality. Perhaps me being used to tabbed browsing in Firefox made the experience unpleasant, but opening and closing tabs caused the window to flicker. When I pressed Ctrl+W to close a tab, it closed the whole window without warning me. You can’t even hide the toolbar without losing the tabbed functionality. As if it’s only job was to completely disappoint me, I was forced to restart after uninstalling the toolbar. Let’s hope Microsoft gets things right in IE7.
