Why go Tabbed? One important
advantage of the tabbed document interface is that it holds many
different documents logically under the one window, instead of holding a
large number of small child windows. Another is that sets of related
documents can be grouped within each of several windows. Using tabs
instead of new windows to display content creates a smaller memory
footprint and therefore reduces the strain on the operating system
(however, opening several tabs at once will temporarily bog down the
system). Tabbed web browsers often allow users to save their browsing
session and return to it later. Wikipedia.org on Tabbed Browsing, |
