I wish to believe that M$ loosed browser-shares not because of tabbing but  
because IEv4-6 were piles of incapable, insecure and outdated s***.
(sorry, there's absolutely no nice way describe it otherwise) and  
development completely stuck once they'd overcome netscape and blocked any  
progression for half a decade.
(IE6 was the standard-breaking "up to date" from 2001-2007, what's a sad  
joke for itself. And it lasted til 2009 until IE8 was the first IE not  
being a /complete/ fail)

And now they /all/ regret and move the tabs on top of the entire window  
(ie. provide window tabbing for windows, what's basically a second layer  
taskbar)
:-P

The major defect of okular's FM is that "Open" is in fact "Replace" - it  
should just "open" another file (same process, probably in another  
window...) just like eg. kwrite does.
