Tabs for other small tasks are just opened in one of these. Or I might open a new window if I need many tabs for a task.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264226589944705290.post-40678762206709907432008-03-03T19:19:00.000-08:002008-03-03T19:19:00.000-08:00I guess you could say I use a hybrid approach of d...I guess you could say I use a hybrid approach of depth-first and breadth-first browsing. I'll open tabs when skimming material (i.e., from Bloglines or reddit) but if I hit something that looks worthy of some more attention I'll open it in a new window and switch to it, possibly opening new tabs as I browse that topic. <BR/><BR/>The other mode of search that gets interspersed in all of this it hitting Google or Wikipedia for background information. In terms of graph search that's like leaping from node to node without any regard for edges.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264226589944705290.post-12073993854015059922008-03-03T18:44:00.000-08:002008-03-03T18:44:00.000-08:00If you'd like to get the other behavior in Firefox...If you'd like to get the other behavior in Firefox, there is (naturally) a plugin: <A HREF="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/1956" REL="nofollow">Tabs Open Relative</A>.Danielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12226491878221307537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-264226589944705290.post-79712059950817781772008-03-03T17:28:00.000-08:002008-03-03T17:28:00.000-08:00This is the sort of thing that atches me out whene...This is the sort of thing that atches me out whenever I'm using IE 7, being used to the Firefox/Safari method. New tabs appear just to the right of the current tab or the last tab that was opened in the background. I think that's it, no WinPC near-by to check on.Douglashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08041010789564868324noreply@blogger.com
