Here's a great interview with Gary Schare from Microsoft. I've talked to Gary several times and appreciate that Microsoft is turning attention to third-party developers (like me) who built tabbed browsers long before FireFox (NetCaptor in 1998).

Here's my favorite quote:

We've looked at whether you can add tabs through a browser helper object or some other way of extending IE, and it turns out you can't.

Bingo. If I it was possible to add tabs to IE via a BHO or other addon, I never would have written NetCaptor.

Matthias just posted his favorite software of 2004. Glad to see we're on the list. Thanks Matthias!

Got a cool award in the mail yesterday from NY Press. NetCaptor won the 2004 Best of Manhattan award for best web browser. There's something really fun about an award you can put on your wall.

Much ado about some new vulnerabilities that affect just about every tabbed browser on the market, and some non-tabbed browsers. More info about this at NetCaptor.com.
