Tech Tips: Using Tabs to Browse the Internet

Sometimes when you're using the Internet, you need to go back and forth between more than one website very quickly. Instead of using the back buttons to go back and forth, you can open multiple websites at the same time. Here's how.

When you are ready to visit the next website, press the key combination of Control together with the letter T. This will open a new tab, ready for you to enter a web address navigate to a new site. And your first tab remains exactly where you left it! You can have as many tabs open as you like. The name of the page will show on the tab, just as it would on a file folder in a drawer.

All you have to do to go back to a previous tab is move your mouse over the tab you want to visit, and click once. If you're done with a tab, you can hit Control together with the letter W, and that website window will disappear. Simple as that.
