Hmm, tabs as bait, eh? Well I guess that's one way to make people use your toolbar.

Probably more as bait to use IE than the toolbar, Google's toolbar is probably the only one i'd use, but with tabs, MSN's is now a contender.

When I clicked on "open tab in background/foreground", it would open a new window but then in the address bar it would say something like:

CODE

msntabb://<random characters><URL of the link to open in new "tab">

It was really frustrating no matter what I did I couldn't get it to work. In the end I gave up and uninstalled it.

This has to be the worst tabbed browsing implementation I have seen.
