Tabbed browsing

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Tabbed browsing refers to use of internet browsers which allow multiple tabs (sub-windows) to be opened within the window the browser is open in, each tab displaying a web-page. As of 2006 most web browsers support tabbed browsing. Opera was the first tabbed browsing interface (in 1994, using MDI), followed later by NetCaptor in 1998, later by IBrowse in 1999, then Mozilla in 2001, Konqueror and Safari in 2003 and Internet Explorer 7^[1] in 2006. Google Chrome, released in 2008, also has tabbed browsing capabilities.

This allowes users to utilize the time between the complete opening of two or more different web pages. Users can open new tabs using the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+T, or they can just go to the File menu, and click "New Tab".
