IE plugin for tabbed browsing?

[Arjen]

This question has probably been asked before in this NG, but after
downloading about 2500 headers I still did not find a reference to it, so
here she goes:

Does anyone know of a plugin that enables tabbed browsing in IE6, like
Mozilla Firebird? Mozilla is nice, but with the vast majority of the
Internet using IE, I'd rather stick with that.

I'm afraid I can't answer your question, though I have heard of third party
products that permit tabbed browsing. I am a bit curious though about why
you don't use Firebird. In addition to tabbed browsing, it has built in
popup blocking. I have been using it for a couple of months, ever since
MSFT broke normal scrolling behavior in IE. So far, I haven't seen a single
reason to go back to IE.

Not a plug-in or BHO, but this will do what you want:

Weeeeell. It's not that I am married to MS or IE. But I do prefer to use the
same tools at work and at home for consistency and browsing habits. And
given that my company sells software that is only supported with IE, Mozilla
is not an option...

I'm using Google's popup blocker BTW, works like a charm.

Yes, I did come across that product. I could not quite determine if it plugs
into IE, sits next to IE (while using IE's engine) or if it is "just" a
different shell for IE. Looks like the latter, while I'd prefer the first.
Perhaps I'll just give it a shot. Thanks!

I gave it a shot, and its a friggin' keeper! Very very very nice. About
the only think I don't like is that for some reason, it won't let me
organize my Favorites in my own order, no matter what the corresponding
option is set to.

Search is over
