That is pretty much it. It is called Tab browsing since at the top of the
current page there are what appears to the sighted as a file folder tab for
each open page. The sighted normally clicks on the tab they want to view.
Fortunately, Microsoft also included the QuickTab drop down menu and lots of
hotkeys. Experts say it uses less computer resources when many web pages
are open, because the application overhead does not get replicated for each
browser window. Therefore, it might be faster. But most people use and
like it because it keeps things organized and does not clutter up the task
bar and such. Of course, both methods are available. For instance, today I
had one browser window open viewing RSS feeds for news. I use the Control +
Enter key to open new Tabs for each news headline I am interested in. At
the same time I still had a tutorial on Visual Basic.Net with a couple of
pages open. Then my wife walks in and needs to find a local place to get
her roller skates repaired. In our area, almost all of the rinks and
businesses of that type have closed. This is a hard thing to find! I had
three or four possibilities as I searched. Having a separate window for
each topic with several pages per topic, this method is perfect for someone
like me who insists on multitasking!

Hi Kimsan;
From my understanding you can have many different websites or web pages
open
and go from one to another using combination keystrokes that all involve
the
tab key. Since I don't use tab browsing personally, perhaps someone will
give a more detailed explanation. Hope this helps. Take care.
Mike
