Using the "Middle Click" to make searching the Internet faster

Submitted by Rick on February 6, 2008 - 11:21pm.
  • Riding Shotgun with Rick

Every time I show a computer user how to use the tab feature of their browser (found in Internet Explorer 7, Firefox, Opera, and Safari), their eyes light up and they can't believe what I showed them is real. Today was another such day. I helped an extremely knowledgeable young lady with her computer, and somehow the conversation drifted into searching the Internet. She nearly fell off her exercise ball when I showed her the trick.

If you aren't using tabbed browsing when you search or even browse the Internet, you are missing out on a HUGE time saver / productivity enhancer. I wrote about this feature way back in 2006. Perhaps you missed it or are just discovering the great information here at HelpMeRick.com. Conveniently, we archive all of our tips and this tip on tabbed browsing is one of our famous Video Tips. Click here to learn all about tabbed browsing and how it will change your life.
