girish1026 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 Hi to all. I would like to know that, is there any patch or any Add-on available to Internet Explorer 6 from Microsoft which makes IE6 with tabbed browsing feature. Or for tabbed browsing feature of Internet Explorer we need to download IE7 or IE8 from Microsoft Website.Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 IE6 - no...IE7/8 - yes...Firefox has tabs, if you want alternative. Definitely Firefox for older Windows as IE7/8 does not run on anything less than XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeMSFN Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) ...is there any patch or any Add-on available to Internet Explorer 6 from Microsoft which makes IE6 with tabbed browsing feature...I don't know of any from Microsoft, but I've seen add-ons give IE tabbed browsing. I believe the Yahoo Toolbar gives the requested functionality in IE6. Edited May 25, 2009 by JoeMSFN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
submix8c Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 YTB? Yuck!If you have XP or higher, IE8 would be best as it's far superior to the older versions (even faster). If not, Firefox is the best bet.( toolbars... ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DigeratiPrime Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 There are IE shells like Avant, Maxthon, GreenBrowser, and AOL Explorer that have tabs.I reccomend and use IE8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dude112 Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 I have another question......Anyway to update IE6 so it has updated ASP reading,CSS,etc?? (I reckon just taking some IE7 files and putting them in a IE6 enviorment might work)I dispise IE7,looks bad........... Wouldnt mind experimenting with 6 though!

submix8c Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 (edited) IE8 (AFAICR when "testing" on VPC/XP) is "cleaner" than IE7. Wouldn't recommend trying to cross-patch IE6 with IE7/8 modules (I believe it's more-or-less a "complete rewrite").Try it ya may like it... thinking of putting it on my main PC permanently! Heck, I like it better than FF!!! (err, might want to "tweak" the aggravating pop-ups out... browse MSFN for more info.)edit - my "opinionating" is over here; choose what you like best...

Ponch Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 There are IE shells like Avant, Maxthon, GreenBrowser, and AOL Explorer that have tabs.I reccomend and use IE8.There's a portable version of Avant Browser (the one thaty says "USB disk version") if you want to try it with IE6 before you make definitive moves.

eidenk Posted May 26, 2009 Share Posted May 26, 2009 Yes there is a (quite obscure) IE extension which adds tabs to IE 5 and 6. It's called IETab.http://www.tooto.com/ietab/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
