My sugestion is that, it's time for ditching uzbl-tabbed with its gtk-tabs.
Yes, ditch gtk-tabs, too.
Uzbl-tabbed is cluttering the design, and a bit bloated.
For me functionality of tabs shoud be directly implemented into uzbl-browser, hence reducing it even more into lean and clean package.

Full disclosure: I am an uzbl-browser user.

I disagree. The tabbed interface is not part of the core browsing experience (having a tiled window manager is, however, a prerequisite for it to be fully appreciated).

The breakdown:

uzbl-core: Web viewer.
uzbl-browser: Browse the web (and related infrastructure for dealing with what that entails).
uzbl-tabbed: Tabbed browsing using uzbl-browser.

Mixing uzbl-browser and uzbl-tabbed isn't necessary. Plus we'd lose the nice one-browser-one-process thing we have now which would probably be solved in a similar fashion that uzbl-tabbed currently handles it...in C rather than Python.

As a tabbed WM user I, too, disagree. Not having features you don't use is what makes this browser great.

I suggest this issue be closed, so it doesn't clutter the list.

Well, "the nice one-browser-one-process thing" causes troubles such as low performance on opening new tabs, HTTP authentication issues and so on. If there are ways to make life easier without merging tab functionality into uzbl-browser, go on, but now it causes so much pain sometimes.
