Tabs, on the other hand, are extremely useful - I dream of the day they come to dillo, making it able to have many pages rendered at once (each with dillo's lightning speed).
Yes, they're useful. I used to enjoy tabs in the window manager (fluxbox), but I also understand there's plenty of people without tabs in the window manager.
The main reason for not coding tabs already in the official dillo is that there were higher priorities. The tabs patch was a several-features in a huge combo that the author was not willing to split.
The good news of this story is that you can get that patchset from a compilation by kiyo on what's regarded as the "i18n misc" dillo:

I find this compilation a very good thing to have, bacause users get what they want while we can work on a more long-term viable dillo (see rationale in my former posts). [...] Fwiw, as a thoroughly subtechnoid user, I've been running the "i18n misc" dillo with tabs for quite a while now. (I'm not sure why -- most likely some yum repository for FC5 sees it as a higher release number -- but I'm glad.)
The tabs are indeed a fine thing. Unfortunately, I can't offer anything in return but praise; but this is meant to be read as a *lot* of that. There have been times when I had as many as a dozen open, and always with great success. Many, many thanks to the developers!
Thanks for the recognition! :-) FWIW, if you pick the vanilla dillo and use fluxbox, you'll also have TABS (i.e. TABS have nothing to do with the number of open windows that dillo can handle). -- Cheers Jorge.-
