Disable Tabbed Browsing in Internet Explorer 7 But why would you want to do that?	By Marius Oiaga, Technology News Editor 27th of December 2006, 15:31 GMT Adjust text size:


Here at Teak Mode, I will show you how to disable tabbed browsing in Internet Explorer 7. Prior to Internet Explorer 7, I was a loyal Firefox user. I played around with Maxthon a little bit, and with Opera, but nothing more. Otherwise, I inconsequently used a range of browsers, out of curiosity. I was using Firefox mainly because of the tabbed browsing capabilities. There are other reasons, of course, but this was the core motivation for the usage of Firefox. In this regard, Maxthon, being an IE shell, also added the tabled browsing feature to Internet Explorer. You must understand that it is not unusual for me to have 50 websites opened at any given time. Internet Explorer 6 and earlier made navigation impossible. In this context, I must confess that the one thing that I always felt was missing from Internet Explorer was tabbed browsing. This is why I am currently using both Internet Explorer 7 and Firefox 2.0 in tandem. It's a case of strange desktop cohabitation, if you ask me, but I simply love IE7 and I still support to the best extent of my abilities Firefox 2.0. Recently, I got to talking with a friend of mine. He is an IE user. And he won't have it any other way. But there is a catch. You've guessed it... tabbed browsing. As much as I cannot do without it, my friend cannot stand the sight of the thing. He was very happy when I showed him that he could disable the feature. From the Menu Bar choose Tools, Internet Options and in the Tabs section toward the bottom click on the Settings button. The first option at the top is "Enable Tabbed Browsing." If you unchecked it and restart Internet Explorer 7 the tabs will be gone.
