how many tabs do you have open (ie users go away)

[journey075]

if you use opera/firefox or any other browser with tabbed browsing ability, how many do you have open now?

just counted and i have 35 .

[Demiparadigm]

four

[drdeutsch]

Always at least 5, usually 6 or 7.

Right now I'm working on a paper, so I've got 8.

[gengar]

Right now, 9. I think the minimum I ever have is 4.

Oops, IE users not allowed? I have two IE windows open in addition to Firefox, b/c I'm doing a usability report on a website that, uh... doesn't work in Firefox. D'oh!!

[Greedo017]

i got firefox for a few days and realized it is the exact same as ie except a lot of websites don't work as well on it so i got rid of it

[Irisheyes]

WTF I only ever have 2 tabs max. open! You guys ever hear of bookmarks?

[WildBobAA]

[lolzzz_321]

I don't know when the last time you used it was, but it must have been quite a while ago. I rarely come across a site that doesn't work in Firefox. The fact that firefox is faster, has tabs, and is completely customizable with extensions is more than enough to overlook the fact that a small percentage of websites - which gets smaller with each firefox update - doesn't work. If I do come across a website, I've got my "View this page in IE" extension which will automatically open the page up in IE for my viewing pleasure.

eh.... to each his/her own.

i usually never have more than 15

[bigred]

Only reason I use firefox is because of it's tab abilities. I usually have 1-5 tabs open and sometimes an IE window open if Firefox is being retarded with a lot of the media files.

What does tabbed browsing mean?

I have FireFox but I just use it like a normal explorer. Explanation please?!

[Irisheyes]

Go to File>>New Tab and its like having 2 Firefoxes open but you only realy have one. Its like the tabs in a filofax.

You can also right click any link and choose "open in new tab"

[journey075]

[Tim Vecchioni]

[ProZachNation]

or if i click on a link with the wheel of my mouth it opens in a new tab

[Lukie]

Usually like 8 or more.. I try not to go over 13-14 though.

I use IE.. not that it's the best browser. Just what I'm used to.

Or you can right click on a link, choose "Copy link location", the go to File>>New Tab, then click in the address bar and hit Ctrl+V.

If you want.

[gabe]

ooh thanks for that

iRICHeyes really is the killer of threads...

[drdeutsch]

dont' forget that you can middle-click a link or bookmark to open it in a new tab. Also, you can middle-click a tab to close it.

Opera is great... I used to use it. But Firefox has it beat nowadays because of all the extensions and themes. I doubt any two Firefoxes are same since every user can download the extensions he/she wants and customize it to his/her needs.

[Fnord]

Are people still using other browsers? That's so 4 years ago...

There is only IE.

[Irisheyes]

Hey you didn't even know it was possible in the first place!

[lolzzz_321]

I press ctrl+T to open new tab.

[lowBoy]

Bah... IE is more prone to security flaws and their support of web standards is piss poor. The reason some sites don't really work that well in Firefox is because people had to code sites for IE's bunged up handling of things - the web needs cross-browser standards.

Add to the FF pros: tabbed browsing, built-in script debugger, extensions + lots more

Browsing the web with IE is like going to an orgy in Africa without a condom.

awesome?

and the tabs got on my nerves. what exactly is the point of a tab?

[strangebird]

6

[journey075]

point of tab is obvious, able to run tons of different web pages with minimal memory usage and its convenient as hell. with ~20 tabs (what i usually run, 6 main web pages and a new one whenever the hell i feel like it) im only using 170mb of memory. running 20 different instances of a browser would be wayyyyy more than that.

also, if you use ie, youre either too apathetic or too stupid to care about viruses.

[ville18]

none. I don't like using tabs. They're fag.

BTW, Is there a hotkey to switch between tags?

Yes, just press ctrl+TAB.
