I'd prefer to use Web browser-style tabs, pressing C-TAB and C-Shift-TAB to navigate left and right. Which packages would you recommend for this?

You might like the `elscreen' package, with key bindings configured
appropriately. A simpler solution not involving any external packages
might be to bind next-buffer and previous-buffer:
(global-set-key (kbd "C-TAB") 'next-buffer)
(global-set-key (kbd "C-S-iso-lefttab") 'previous-buffer)
However, two caveats about both of these solutions:
1) S-TAB cannot be bound on a TTY console or a [standard] terminal
emulator, only in a GUI, due to historical console limitations;
2) Since you posted this in a Gnus list and not a general Emacs list, I
assume you want tabbed viewing of articles in Gnus, like in Mozilla
Thunderbird. This is going to be difficult to do at all in Gnus
because Gnus re-uses the same *Article* buffer to display successive
articles as you read them. If you want to keep an article open while
continuing to read others, you can use the "Sticky Article" feature,
(info "(gnus) Sticky Articles").
