On this thread are discussed alternatives to tab for browsing. dmenu is a good tool and could be considered to do the job. On a sooner post, you said that at least url and title should be remembered, with a simple script, dmenu does it finger in the nose. I don't have a solution wether urllist should be kept in a file or html pages stored in a directory or whatever, all I know is that a clean list with url or title or both displayed in a vertical dmenu speaks faster to me than a few squarred millimeters icon with a truncated (because of lack of space) string. If I had to choose between tabs and several instances with a wm interaction, I'd choose the latest, despite the problematic raised by Jake Todd (giving the focus to the right instance of a browser) isn't solved yet on dwm (or I'm not aware of how to do it).
