I stand corrected.

But regarding tabs, according to these guys...

The glory belongs to InternetWorks by BookLink Technologies, an old-time browser from the early 1990s that you've probably never heard of.

Oh absolutely! I almost included more about who created tabs myself but my comment was already becoming a wall of text and I hadn't used InternetWorks myself. ๐Ÿ˜…

Since you bring it up, I've wondered for a long time if the folks who brought tabs to browsers might have also worked on TabWorks-- a very customizable (and much prettier) alternative shell/GUI for Windows 3.x.
