>- Tabs are actually usable. What does that mean exactly?

  That tabs generally aren't on smart phones?

    Are you trying to be difficult or have a laugh at my expense or does anyone actually have any real complaints about how tabs are handled in the stock Android browser or say by one of the very popular Dolphin variants? I don't understand why these tabs are better than the tabs in the normal browser. Let me guess, everyone thinks you have to scroll up to get to see the tabs? Too bad.

      I do. It takes too many clicks to get at the other windows with the (my?) default Android browser, and at any rate I can only have, what, 7 "tabs" open at a time? As often as not I get errors when clicking on links in email/rss that I have the maximum number of windows open, which is a drag. I've been trying Opera over the past week or two, but that doesn't have any controls for modal popups (among other issues).

  Mobile Firefox lets you switch between tabs by pulling out a sidebar on the left side of the screen, so you can access them quickly, and you can see the current page and the tab list at the same time: http://support.mozilla.com/kb/how-do-i-use-tabs-mobile http://support.mozilla.com/kb/how-do-i-use-tabs-mobile

      To be fair, didn't xscope copy that from earlier versions of Firefox Mobile?

        Yup, Firefox Mobile has been using this same tab UI since our first alpha versions on the Nokia Maemo platform in 2008.
