    Clover is the most popular (and likely the first?) app to offer a tabbed browser interface to the Windows file explorer however it is not integrated in the native Windows 10 interface like it is the case with Actual Window Manager. To access tabbed browsing in Windows with Clover, you get a separate windows file explorer interface.
