> Why have reverse tabs won? What are "reverse tabs"?

• hayksaakian 13y ago
  The parent is implying that safari style tabs are the proper version, and that chrome, Firefox, and IE are using 'reverse tabs'

    For people who haven't used Safari, like me: http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/107000/107752/safari-tab-reloader-9.png http://screenshots.en.sftcdn.net/en/scrn/107000/107752/safar... It appears that "Safari-style tabs" are tabs that extend down from the address bar, not up from it.

    Actually, Chrome invented them and everyone followed. Safari is just the only one that didn't.
    • crazysim 13y ago
      It followed for a little bit during a few betas and then didn't from what I recall.

      Firefox had this long before chrome was even out...

      Chrome didn't invent tabs on top of the address bar. As far as I know Opera did, which had them in version 7 from as far back as 2003. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Opera_7.02.png http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Opera_7.02.png

  Tabs on top like chrome. I don't care where the tabs go by default, as long as we have an option to move them if we want. Unfortunately, as Mozilla are turning into google, they have decided choice is evil and bad.
