Re: can you get IE to tab browsing?

maxthon (best bet)
crazy browser (basic and more buggy then maxthon)
ie7 (beta cannot move tabs around etc.)
avantbrowser (no experience with it, but probably best alternative to maxthon)

I've tried both maxthon and avant and think that avant is probably the best of the 2.

I've tried both and have the opposite opinion
but then again that's personal preference
as i have heavily customised my maxthon settings
groups, resources, adblocker, rss etc

Re: can you get IE to tab browsing?

Firefox for me - personally, it is one of the best features.

Only problem is when I'm at work, and use explorer, but still keep hitting the wheel.
