Windowed vs. Tabbed

Tabbed or Windowed?

Since I only ever, ever open one webpage at a time (maximum windows opened at one single time = three), I say windowed.

This is a habit from using a slow Win95 a long time ago, which took forever to open a new window, or a single window for a matter of fact.

After all, a tab-browser doesn't come with Windows XP, and since tab browsers won't obviously be useful to me, why bother getting it?
 
I'd choose tabbed any day. I don't like having windows cluttered all around, since I usually have meny websites open at one time. X.X
 
Tabbed browsing. I'd rather keep all my pages in one window than have a hundred windows open (exaggeration there, but I do tend to always have a few pages open at once at any given time). It just saves me a bit of confusion, and keeps my taskbar from looking too cluttered.
 
I didn't like tabbed browsing at first, but I don't like the way the start bar clumps windows of the same type together, so I got used to tabbed.

Actually, there's an option where you can disable that.
I definitely, totally choose tabbed. There's always a dozen sites I'm at, BMGf, Pokesho, BSC, PC, SPPf, some oekakis and IGN. It's a lifesaver for my bar area. Right now I have 4 paints open, PSP open, WMD, 3 windows explorers open (to look at my pictures), 3 wordPads open and 3 firefoxs open
Now you know why I needed Mozilla. Plus the popup blocker is great and the downloads window pwns.
 
I was just talking about this with Kura on the phone. Omgwtf I was using a phone?

Yeah, I love tabs. I far prefer them over windows. I guess it's just because I don't like seeing a bunch of windows open in the taskbar...must be left over from when my computers were so bad that if you had any more than three windows open, it meant certain death for your session. XD But regardless, it just looks a lot cleaner to have tabs. That and I tend to have about 10-20 internet pages open at a time alongside anywhere from 1-8 MSN convos open at once...plus other applications...so yeah, the taskbar can fill up quickly. If it weren't for tabbed browsers and MSN, I'd die. XD

Installing Messenger Plus! allows for tabbed conversation windows. o.o I'd die without it~
 
Having everything tabbed pwns! I just love it, makes everything so much easier. And it is less mess. XD
 
I prefer windowed. I've gotten used to it, and I'm too lazy to change Firefox to have links tabbed without clicking on the scroll thing on my mouse, which I can't and don't want to always do when I click a link.
 
I should slap anybody who picks window. Tabbed is so much easier, I dont have to have a million windows open at one time. So when I Have other programs open it doesnt conflcit with my computer slowing down. Since all the sites are in one window, makes my computer operate a whole lot better.

Screw your multiple windows for more than one website :P Tabbed is where its at

Messenger Plus consolidates conversations into one window, but seeing as I'm using the Beta right now I can't give proof.
