I think so. I've read lots of reviews of tabbed browsers, and I've never seen anything that makes me want to try them (other than the safety factor; some are more secure than IE). It occurs to me that different people have very different browsing habits, but because using the computer is usually a solitary activity, we're not aware of how differently other people do it. I always close my browser when I'm not using it, for instance, but when I went to visit my sister awhile ago and was using her computer, I found that she leaves hers open all the time.
