When I use the "open in new window" option here it opens in the same
size as the last page I was viewing, so that's pretty much the same. I
haven't researched it to figure out why it does that, but I know that if
I have a browser open in 100x100 window (though why in the hell I'd do
that I have no idea), and use the "open in new window" option, it will
open the next one in the same size most of the time.

One big thing I like tabbed browsing for is that it opens the page in
the dimensions of your existing browser. There are a ton of times that
I open something in a new window and the window manager says "ah, new
thing, default dimensions. Here is your 100x100 window that I'm
guessing you really want maximized, but deal with it."

Tabbed browsing is something that I just don't understand how it is more
useful. In IE I right-click on a link, choose open in new window, and
there it is. Since I have four monitors on my computer, I move that
window to a different monitor and I can then compare documents
side-by-side. If I wanted to switch between different open windows on a
single-monitor system, there are tabs in the taskbar to click back and
forth between different pages.
So, what is the advantage of "tabbed browsing"? Other than restricting
everything to one window instead of being able to spread them out, I see
no difference than IE. Actually, it seems like more of a hindrance.

I've had lots of photo editing software in the past do the same thing,
where they grab the file association and then when uninstalled, they
don't put it back to the MS default or the last program before them
(hint to any and all developers out there: a choice like that at
uninstall would be nice!)
Tabbed browsing has really changed the way I surf web pages. It took a
few days to get use to it, but now I have a hard time not using it.
It's great to be able to right click and "open in tabs" and I've got all
of the pages for all of my troubleshooting sites open, loaded, and
waiting for me to flip around to when I want them, all in one browser
window that sits nice and compact in the task bar.
