I voted for 'tabbed browsing' because....

1) Personal preference:
I like browsing my bloglines' subscriptions, internettablettalk forum, etc. clicking on relevant links to open in the background in tabs. On the desktop I use firefox and maxthon and on my n800, Minimo.

2) It does not force users, who do not wish tabbed browsing, to use tabs, as the following options could be set under preferences:
-open links in windows
-open links in tabs
Additionally
-open new tabs/windows in background
-open new tabs/windows in foreground

3) It would add stability to the browser:
Although the browser on my n800, of course. never crashes, it could one day do so theoretically
In that case our browser will be able to remember all of its children=tabs and offer to restore them the next time we open the browser. as happens now in firefox and maxthon. I believe that to be a very important feature.

4) It might not take too many resources/delay other enhancements as the code more or less exists already thanks to the legendary "tonikitoo / Antonio Gomes'' coder of our Minimo browser also being a member of the development: team

I therefore believe that voting for 'tabbed browsing' Bug #1695 is a win-win situation.

@'tonikitoo / Antonio Gomes'
if you do read this thread, any chance of releasing as a beta or alternative an extension enabling the tabbed browsing functionality, please?
