The first time I saw the tab metaphor used in Opera was only quite recently, in version 7 which was only released in the last 6-8 months. However, it was just a new look to the same MDI Opera's had forever meaning it still predates Netcaptor by several years.


Ahh - never knew that Opera used buttons for all the open windows pre-tabs. :p

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences.

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Hmm, just found this.

[q]NetCaptor Turns 5

Can you believe it? Today is NetCaptor's 5th birthday! Five years ago today, the original version of NetCaptor (then known as SimulBrowse) was uploaded to Tucows. Its been a wild ride since then - freeware, shareware, adware, and back to shareware. NetCaptor was the first browser to introduce dynamic browser tabs. Since then, any number of NetCaptor clones have come and gone, and Opera and Netscape/Mozilla added tabs. Browser tabs are now a defacto feature of power-browsers... and it all started here.

Thanks to all the users how've supported NetCaptor through the years! [/q]

NetCaptor may have been the first to apply the "tab" metaphor to multiple window management but Opera's MDI (which is functionally the same thing) still predates it by several years. I don't think NetCaptor was even the first program to offer an "MDI-like" functionality to IE as I recall NeoPlanet offering something similar (but lacking the "tab" metaphor) nearly a year before.

They're just bragging.
What makes it annoying is that they're actually claiming Opera got the idea from them... yeah, right. :rolleyes:

Edit: Hmm... something old I just found...

It pre-dates 1998?

And all I have to say about NeoPlanet is: {smooth female voice}"NeoPlanet online."{/smooth female voice} ;)
