Microsoft Needs More than Tabbed Browsing for IE to Survive

Published by

Microsoft?s Internet Explorer Product Unit Manager Dean Hachamovitch recently confirmed in his weblog that Internet Explorer 7.0 would have tabbed browsing integration, a feature that?s also available in Mozilla?s Firefox browser. One of the many reasons Firefox has become popular is due to tabbed browsing. It was a different concept that let users open numerous windows in a single parent window. It?s useful, it?s popular, and it works. But I don?t see how this is a major feature in need of promotion. While Hachamovitch didn?t intentionally promote it himself, he did confirm it as if this is the next thing in browsers.
