Faster Tabbed Browsing -- Web Wednesday

Lifehacker is a great source for tips about computers, mobile phones, and even household hints.  For years, I have been opening multiple tabs whenever I browse the web, whether in Google Chrome (my preferred browser), Firefox, or Internet Explorer.

Learning to open new tabs with a single click have enhanced my browsing experience tremendously, so I'm sharing Lifehacker's Shortcut of Day about tabbed browsing here:

Sometimes you're browsing along the web and you want to open a page but not bother to look at it right this second. You could right-click the link and choose "Open Link in New Tab," but this little keyboard shortcut can save you the trouble. All you have to do is hold down the Control key (on Windows) or Command (on Mac) and click the link you want to open. This will open a tab in the background and you won't have to deal with it right away. You can also do this with bookmarks and bookmark folders that are sitting in your toolbar. Some browsers will even save you a step and allow you to middle click (this generally refers to pushing scroll wheel on your mouse) to perform this action. Either way, it's a handy trick when browsing the web.
