So you can go to multiple webpages that are currently open? I just do CTRL 1 through 8. That isn't tab browsing is 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!
