Funny because back in the day there were no tabs.

If you wanted multiple sites open you had multiple browser windows on the taskbar.

That became unmanageable quite fast, so we got tabs.

Note btw that even the earliest Opera had "tabs". It used MDI to provide multiple sites within a single browser window. This stuck with Opera all the way to version 12. After that they changed over to being a Chrome clone.
