IE6 gets tabbed browsing!

[K. Eng]

I use Firefox most of the time, but there are some sites that I absolutely must use IE for. IE is an ok browser, the the lack of tabs has been somewhat irritating.

Looks like MS is finally listening to people like me

To get the tabs, get the MSN toolbar:

I'm going to give it a try and post my results later!

Here are my results:

For a 7.5MB download, I got a 27.5MB install that added a desktop search tool and some other stuff. I quickly got annoyed with the search toolbar because it took up too much space in my browser window, and had all sorts of buttons that I have no use for.

The tabs felt a bit sluggish compared to Firefox.

I tried to rearrange the toolbar but when I locked all the toolbars, the MSN toobar would place itself below all the other toolbars and ignore my commands to stay with other toolbars.

After 5 mins of playing around with it, I decided to uninstall the MSN toolbar. Guess I'm sticking with Firefox.

And you'll be better off anyway. It's rare - and begrudging - that I use IE anymore. Hopefully that will become less and less as time goes on.

I was going to try it out too. Saw the 7.5MB download plus MSN toolbar stuff and stopped right there.

Firefox rocks.

Even if the reviews are positive, I wouldn't even bother switching back.
