In that case, Opera Browser in 2001 was the first tabbed browser I used. Long before Chrome.

I still miss some features in Opera like mouse gestures. No, plugins and add-ons can't reproduce the responsiveness of a native implementation, they all fall short.

Good to see someone else remembering the mouse gestures. It was what hooked me, together with being a fast browser at the time.

On a sidenote, I stopped using Opera when they included a torrent-client in their webbrowser. The amount of bloat was staggering.
