Tabbed Browsing

     - Thursday, May 27, 2004

Modern web browsers now have tabs that allow you to open several web sites in different tabs all within a single browser window. Of course, by modern we mean Mozilla and Firefox. They work similar to the way the tabs in Excel work.

With Firefox you can open whole folders of bookmarked sites at the same time. Each site will get it's own tab. It's great for paying will when you have open sites for your bank, utility companies, and 3 sites for the credit cards. You don't have just around in a bunch of windows, just add them to a bookmark folder and then click "Open in tabs".

With Mozilla it's a little different. Open the various sites into different tabs. Then right-click on one of the tabs to create a "grouped bookmark". A new bookmark for the group will be created.

You're out of luck with Internet Explorer. But with all those pop-ups, who has time to surf the web.
