I guess what is said about opinions is true ....

Yes, everybody has one, and I never try to change anyone's opinion, unless they ask, or say something that is blatantly wrong.

Well to get things back ontrack here there's some other news about IE 9 some may want to look over.Note this was something seen back in 11/2009 and will hopefully make a difference in the next IE.

It's only three weeks into its development, but Internet Explorer 9 has officially been unveiled today at the Professional Developers Conference (PDC). In fact, as I write this now, they're still talking about IE9 and other tech advances over on the Microsoft PDC09 website.

The rest of that plus a video clip is seen at IE9 unveiled. Faster, more standards-compliant -- DirectX accelerated!

I use Both FF and IE8, FF was the first to come out with the tabbed browser (that was a God send) and I like the personas. But I like the Favorite Bar in IE8, thats what I use for all the boards. FF I just use for google these days, and maybe a torrent search here and there.

This is entirely untrue. Opera had tabbed browsing long before fF, and there was another browser that had it before Opera, but I can't think of it's name at the moment.

So Opera had tabs before the first release from FF before it was called FF when it was called FB??

Well if thats the case forgive me.. I haven't used Opera

I couldn't remember before, but here is the first tabbed browser:

NetCaptor

Opera adopted it, and then FF.

Actually before those 2, there was a browser called avant, which had tabs as far as i can remember, I used it back in 2004-2006, it used the IE6 engine.

I don't know anything about Avant, but Opera had tabs long before those dates.

Does it really matter who had what first?

Yes and no. I just don't care for the idea of scrambling facts. To a point, I'm guilty also, because the article below says that there a couple of programs preceeding even NetCaptor, but Opera started with tabs in 2000, with version 4.

I just want to be clear. It really doesn't matter who had it first, it only matters who puts it to the best use, or allows it to use its full potential (this goes for anything really).
