    In fact Opera were more ahead of their times, because they were the first to add tabs and had a lot of features that we now take for granted. I know this because I used Netscape browser (before they were called mozilla) and Opera 4.x at the time.

      Opera were visionary. But I was only referring to detached tabs, which Mozilla implemented, Chrome followed and now Vivaldi.

        What are detached tabs? Sandboxed? Dragged out into their own window? Genuine question

          You see how the tabs don’t connect to the address bar

            Wait so it’s just a design choice? I mean I get they were the first but really, who really cares about stuff like that?

              Mozilla get so much flack of late, it’s good to balance that and give them credit where it’s due.

            The new software design trends is to break free for skeumorphism completely. “tabs” are no longer tabs, they are buttons or whatever. Firefox is doing the same.
