Re: Way to view tabs in a horizontal tab bar like other browsers?

Hi Doug,

Just a question.
If the tabs in OmniWeb scroll for you how will it not scroll for you  
when the tabs are horizontal ?
Since horizontal tabs would take more space anyway how will it make  
your navigation any better than the tabs we have now?

In my view the way OmniWeb has implemented the tabs concept is the  
best and most elegant I've seen in any app.
