The whole point of tabs is to avoid having multiple windows open. It's to have all your pages neatly organized in one window. The other huge plus of tabs is the ability to save tab groups. This solution doesn't do either. Although this might be a neat idea, it really is nothing like tabs, and it's annoying that this and other products market themselves that way. There is another on Versiontracker that even has the name SafariTabs.

Have you tried it?

When you enable "in the same position" and "hide others" mode, it's just like tabs -- you only see one window, and switching is fast and seamless.

The only thing tabs give you (and don't get me wrong, I'd love to see them in Safari) is the ability to open more than one tabbed window...

tab groups
Authored by: benfsmith on Feb 15, '03 10:44:31AM

Do you mean tab groups? You can do this in Pith also.

my only challenge was that even with the "same frame" being selected, new windows would appear slightly to the left each time because of the cascading functionality. Combined with FullScreenSafari.ape, this is almost as good as tabs in every way (minus the CPU issue).

I have never mentioned tabs or advertised pith as such in any of my descriptions. It is others who drew the similarity.
