Where's the tab browsing. I've been using it all day, and the only tab I've seen is in the fridge. *rimshot*
Aha! Just found it. Is useless.

I actually thought the same thing. However I first ran across it in Opera. It got me wondering. Why would two popular browsers put this seemingly useless feature in?
So I decided to use it in some power browsing, having half a dozen pages open and working on them, viewing forums (and posting), sending and reading e-mail, viewing some info sites and placing orders on Amazon.
Switching between sites became so easy, so organized and so fast, it is now an important requirement. I work faster because of this one feature, and it is so much cleaner and more efficient than seperate windows.

How long is that going to take? It's been over 3 weeks.

tabbed browsing fucking rocks! how could somebody not realise how fantastic this feature is the first time the see it? i could not stand having 20 instances of IE open! it crashes the 'operating system' for a start...
also, i just took time to read through clock's 'replies' there, what a crock of shit. he either says 'this feature is useless so i am glad it is not in IE' (which is exactly what MS say, it translates as "You WILL do things OUR WAY! MWAH HA HA HA HAAAAAA!") or else he posts some crap about some plugin, 3rd party garbage, spyware addon or some hack that requires you to go and edit files and directory contents manually. Cookie management for instance. RRS, show me how 'C/WINDOWS/Cookies' helps me set up my cookies so that cookies are only accepted from the same server as the webpage i am viewing and are deleted at the moment that i close the browser? all decent browsers include this feature (konqueror does not, which is why it sucks compared to galeon and the mozillas).
Gooseberry Clock:
You'll need IE 6 for this: Tools -> Internet Options -> Privacy -> Advanced -> First-party cookies: Accept, Third-party cookies: Block
And as for deleting cookies every time you log off, why would you want to? If you ask me, having to log in to a site every time you visit it (and having to remember the username and password) is much more hassle than the unwelcome cookies you're trying to avoid. You'd be much better off setting the above option to Prompt (or not visiting sites that store unwelcome cookies). But if you must, stick this in your AUTOEXEC.BAT:
DELTREE/Y WINDOWS\COOKIES

And furthermore, I like Outlook Express because it has so many flaws and bugs.
I love bugs! Mozilla Mail doesn't have any bugs, and therefore it sucks!
Watch my stupid poledancing movie which has a stolen music sample from Duke Nukem 3D.
Oh shit, that music sample belongs to 3DRealms :eek:
You guys won't try to sue me... right?
