Remember when Firefox was the first browser to have "tabbed browsing"?
Obviously UBO isn't a first party feature - but if only Firefox could generate as much traction about ad blocking as they did with tabs.
- phyzome 2mo agoI'm fairly sure Opera introduced it first.
- superkuh 2mo agoYes. Opera (original, not what is called Opera now) introduced tabs first. I believe in the 5.0 version with presto engine.
- Fnoord 2mo agoYes, well, kind of. Opera had Multiple Document Interface (MDI) which was actually (back then) far more flexible than tabs. But yes, Opera was first with MDI, and also I suppose the first web browser for the smartphone.
- tomjen3 2mo agoYeah, I remember. I also remember it automatically blocking popup ads. That was a huge deal.
- paradox460 2mo agoNo, because Opera and SimulBrowse had it years before Firefox even existed
