Fwiw, as a thoroughly subtechnoid user, I've been running
the "i18n misc"
dillo with tabs for quite a while now. (I'm not sure why --
most likely
some yum repository for FC5 sees it as a higher release
number -- but I'm
glad.) 

The tabs are indeed a fine thing. Unfortunately, I can't
offer anything in
return but praise; but this is meant to be read as a *lot*
of that. There
have been times when I had as many as a dozen open, and
always with great
success. Many, many thanks to the developers!

  Thanks for the recognition! 

  FWIW,  if  you  pick  the vanilla dillo and use fluxbox,
you'll
also  have  TABS (i.e. TABS have nothing to do with the
number of
open windows that dillo can handle).
