Nice... if you're on IE (pre 7)

but with Opera or FF this is moot.

But we all don't care for FF.
For me and my wife, it likes to display sites in MS Comic (or whatever) font.

FF is nice for the faithful, but most remain with IE and this sort of thing is useful.

Personally, I like and use Maxthon.

Each to his own. One is just is good as the other in its own right. I stopped using IE about 2 years ago. Went from IE to Firefox, to Opera, to Firefox, to Opera, and back to Firefox. They are both good. However, I'm just biding my time until IE7 comes out. Nothing works better than that which was intended to work with the OS. IE6 just fell out of favor withe because its inability to correctly render some of your newer sites and systems.

And Tabbed Browsing got old real fast. I used in both Firefox and Opera at first. Tha was back when I was all hardcore about running everything maximized. Now I just use grouping mode on the task bar, its basically just the same.

Interesting, im still on Win2K tho. Maybe thats why i'm still in love with tabbing. Can't imagine any easier way to keep in touch with various forums.

Will check out the grouping thing out when im XP.

I've discovered a major flaw in the tabmarks.
It won't keep you signed into forums or anything for that matter, which
makes it totally unusable for me.  Shame cuz i liked the way it did things... :-\
