The only way it would do it for me was to go to each and every link and do command-click. I couldn't really see how this was any better than just clicking on the link itself, then the back button. That was faster and easier (less clicking). Now if there was a way to make all the links on a page as tabs at once with just one command-click, then it might be a real advantage. Normally, in IE, when I go to a site that has a lot of pages, I just work my way through them, and then if I need to go back to a particular page, I just click and hold the back button and select one of the previous pages, something Chimera and Safari don't (doesn't?) have. One thing I did notice: Chimera was just as fast as Safari, if not a little faster, and all the new pages loaded almost instantly. So unless I was doing something wrong, I don't see an advantage for tabbed browsing. I certainly am missing *something*. Gerry -- The iMac List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
