With time, an increasing number of people using Firefox as well as the latest version of Internet Explorer (IE7) have come to realize that they have the ability to engage in what’s known as “tabbed browsing.”

Tabbed browsing allows you to keep any number of websites open — all within one browser window — eliminating the need to open new windows each time you wish to visit a site while keeping another site open.

With tabbed browsing, you can “tab” through all your open sites by clicking on the tabs running across the your browser (beneath your toolbars) by holding down the Ctrl key with your left thumb and tapping the Tab key.

I’ve noticed that when many web surfers wish to open a site in a new tab, they’ll right click a link and choose “Open in New Tab” from the menu that pops up. This is great, and it makes me happy to find more people taking advantage of tabbed to improve their online experiences.  However, my tip for today offers an alternative way to open links in new tabs.

Some people prefer right clicking, but I often find that holding down the Ctrl key and then simply clicking a link (left-clicking now, not right-clicking, mind you) to be a technique that’s even faster and easier.
