It took a lot of creativity to figure out tabs so early, and the current implementation is the best that I have found. Firefox supports nothing to compare to the persistent groups of tabs found in NetCaptor.</p> <p>Now if you would just get rid of that annoying, worse-than-useless little dialog box every time Netcaptor is launched! On those occasions when the little box gets hidden behind the main window, it's a bear to get it to the front so you can click OK and unfreeze Netcaptor.</p> Congratulations, Adam!

Now if you would just get rid of that annoying, worse-than-useless little dialog box every time Netcaptor is launched! On those occasions when the little box gets hidden behind the main window, it’s a bear to get it to the front so you can click OK and unfreeze Netcaptor.

Global Network Navigator (aka GNN), which was one of AOL's first Internet acquisitions, offered a browser in which every site you visited was a tab accross the bottom. I remember thinking it was very clever and wondered why others weren't doing it. GNN was AOL's experiment with an Internet-only service geared toward more advanced users. It lasted a year or two before they shut it down.</p> I first experienced a sort of proto-tabbed browsing in November 1995.

It is disingenuous to continue calling NetCaptor (on netcaptor.com) the "original tabbed browser". AOL bought Booklink in late 1994, and Booklink's Internetworks had tabs as we know them today. Though largely unheard of today, Booklink was well-known at the time, and has the only legitimate claim on the DNA of tabbed browsing.</p> <p>Google on: "tabbed browsing" booklink</p> As I’m sure you know, browsing originated years before NetCaptor.
