It existed but was still under development and not enabled by default. E.g. there was no graceful handling of tab overflows https://wiki.mozilla.org/Tabbed_Bro

  Yes, I definitely enabled all the beta/testing features. Tabs may have been limited "depending on screen resolution", but as a gamer I had probably one of the biggest screen resolutions you could run, with a CRT to match. I'm pretty sure I was using an AMD K6-2 500Mhz with between 128 and 256MB RAM. Sometime after 2002 I built an Athlon-based system with a gig of RAM, so I could be mis-remembering my computing platform when "peak browsing performance" happened, but I know that no browser has ever been as fast as Phoenix was.

    I feel the same way about Phoenix. In 2003 I was running 0.1 on a Pentium III 450Mhz with 128MB RAM and it's still the fastest browser I've ever used. The newer Firefox Quantum releases are coming close, but even then it's on a quad-core Core i7 2.8Ghz and 16GB of memory MacBook Pro.
