If you are not yet using tabs when you browse the Internet, you should be. Tabs allow you to have several web pages open at the same time and to switch between them quickly and easily. Here are a few tips on how to use tabs.

Tabbed browsing is available in all versions of the Firefox and Opera web browsers. It was also introduced in Internet Explorer 7. If you are still using Internet Explorer 6, Internet Explorer 7 is a free download, available at the Microsoft website.

When you first look at  a Web browser that is able to handle tabbed browsing, it will look no different than any other browser. In Internet Explorer 7, you will see a little new tab next to the current open window tab, as shown below:

Just click on that tab to open a new window. Your current window will be available until you close it. To access it, just click on its tab. 

If you are using Firefox or Opera as your Web browser, just press CTRL+T to open a new tab. This will also work in Internet Explorer 7.
