Tabs or Windows
 
Do you open links and new webpages in tabs, or do you open up an entire new window? Why?

I prefer tabs, for some reason, it makes my computer go faster, also, my task bar looks neater.

Giraffes? Giraffes! July 12th, 2009 11:23 AM

I use tabs, don't like my whole task bar being filled.

Giraffles <3 July 12th, 2009 11:25 AM

Tabs <3. My parents always open up new windows and then everything feels clustered, makes me so annoyed >:3.

ShadowLeader July 12th, 2009 11:38 AM

Tabs of course. As soon as I realized that they looked cool existed, I was all over them.

Tyrantrum July 12th, 2009 11:39 AM

I prefer Tabs, because they are easier to find, and you can move them around to where you like.

.Wolfie-kun. July 12th, 2009 11:54 AM

Tabs, less messy. End of story XD

Amaruuk July 12th, 2009 12:05 PM

Tabs were invented because having to open more windows is plain stupid, especially if you're running other programs, too.

Spinor July 12th, 2009 12:14 PM

Really, who uses windows anymore? Tabs are the new thing.

Mitchman July 12th, 2009 12:30 PM

Tabs. My main attraction of Firefox.

Gerri Shin July 12th, 2009 12:30 PM

I much prefer tabs, I have limited screen space as it is and because I usually work with multiple programs at a time, having multiple windows for the browser is just annoying.

dotKarma July 12th, 2009 12:35 PM

Tabs. they make life easier

Kind of off topic: Google chrome has the best looking tabs all time, it looks like a filing cabinet whenever I'm on.

Legobricks July 12th, 2009 12:59 PM

Heh. Well if I'm using Lynx I can't do either.
Anyway, my primary browser is Opera. My taskbar goes down the side of my screen so while I do have ample space for new windows I go for tabs. I'm switching between fullscreen windows of different programs all the time so it's not abnormal or difficult for me to use new windows; my choice is decided by whatever is higher on the right click menu, and on Opera 'openen in nieuwe tab' is above 'openen in niew venster'.

Yet all other modern browsers also use tabs.

Tabs
...Geez... now that I think about it, I haven't opened more than one window in a while o.o
Unless of course I have a game and a browser etc...

.little monster July 12th, 2009 1:06 PM

Tabs are more important than life. I almost never have more than one window open, unless they are completely separate programs.

Eureka1 July 12th, 2009 2:21 PM

Tabs, probably uses less RAM, don't really care either way.

machinegun777 July 12th, 2009 3:16 PM

I always use tabs, but occasionaly when I click a link a new window will open

Rukario July 12th, 2009 4:13 PM

99.8% of the time tabs.

new window for some things that may crash or lockup.. or for reading/copy/pasta reasons.

Reck July 12th, 2009 5:05 PM

Tabs cause it's easier to access the pages i have open and it doesn't clutter up my start bar.

It was in 2007 I still had an old version of IE and did not know IE7 had them. So I naturally went along with firefox like a noob.

wee187 July 12th, 2009 8:28 PM

Tabs, my window only days ended when I left IE6 and went to Firefox. :3

.Seth July 12th, 2009 10:41 PM

Tabs. I hate having more than 5 windows open at a time. MSGPlus ftw.

Ooka July 12th, 2009 10:55 PM

Why would anyone in their right mind open up a new window for each page? I could understand if you did it every so often due to your tab panel getting loaded, but otherwise, it's irrational. xD

I use tabs btw. :P

Ayano Katagiri July 12th, 2009 11:14 PM

Tabs, easiest way to navigate without having to clog up everything and keeps it all in one window.

Archer July 12th, 2009 11:41 PM

Oh god no. I use tabs. Although I do often stick with individual windows for MSN, just to make sure I don't send a message to the wrong person.

Captain Fabio July 13th, 2009 7:30 AM

Tabs.
I can't stand having my task bar full of Internet windows.
It gets full enough from MSN and other programs as it is.

Tabs makes it a lot cleaner and easier to manage.

Ziraider July 13th, 2009 11:14 AM

Tabs, so much more easier, I'm always doing multiple things, so instead of 50 millon windows stealing my start bar (panels for my Linux). Besides, Tabs look 1 million times better then 50 million windows open.

Snivi July 14th, 2009 11:41 PM

I am so used to tabs because of Firefox. =D

Citrinin July 14th, 2009 11:47 PM

Tabs. They seem less cluttering and easier to access than windows.

BananasGoMoo July 15th, 2009 12:05 PM

Tabs, because if i use windows, i cant find which website i want to go back to.

xxxLatiasxxx July 16th, 2009 1:28 AM

I prefer to use windows its easier for me and I don't use tabs to often just every once in a while.

Blaziquaza July 16th, 2009 2:13 AM

Tabs.Always easier,because I usually have programs up like A-Map.

Saltare. July 17th, 2009 7:09 AM

Tabs. It's easier for me. I have 3 tabs open right now, actually. Myspace, PC, and Playlist.com

Cheesymitten July 17th, 2009 7:12 AM

I prefer tabs, it's a lot easier.
Windows you need to drag your mouse down to the bottom T_T
So tabs for meh :D

Johnny590 July 17th, 2009 11:24 AM

I save tabs, I always have open like 10 tabs and I sometimes open another window just so I could open even more tabs if I feel I have too many!! xD

Tabs = FTW.

~*!*~Tatsujin Gosuto~*!*~ July 17th, 2009 12:06 PM

I use tabs even though it can get a bit confusion at times. I don't like looking at the bottom of my screen and seeing that its filled up with windows of internet browsers
