Keep two pages open at once
Move between two open pages without losing either one.
A tab is one web page held open in the browser. The strip along the top carries a label for each page open.
Moving to another tab does not close the first. It waits where you left it.
Key points
- A tab is one page the browser holds open
- Opening another tab never closes the one you were reading
What to remember
- Tabs are pages waiting their turn, not copies of the browser.
- A new tab adds a page. It never replaces one.
Try this
Look along the top of your browser and count the labels. Each is a page you left open.
