I always have at least three or four tabs open, on various websites that I am alternating from on my Internet browser. I find that I multitask a lot when I am online. Do you have a lot of tabs open on your Internet browser? Looking forward to reading your responses.

Generally I have 2 tabs open, one to the stats package to the website I run the other for general browsing. But if I am writing a review or an article I tend to have another 3 or 4 tabs open with all the necessary sources of information I need in easy reach.

Yes shifting through multiple tabs can be very helpful for any kind of research. I know when I am writing a research paper for school, I have a lot of my online resources open in tabs, so I can double check some things easily, rather than shifting back and forth. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

yes i visit too many sites in one go and without multitasking it would be boring.

Yes, when I watch videos of any type online whether it be television or YouTube, there is sometimes downtime, so its a good idea to have some tabs open. That way, there can be a lot of shifting back and forth. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

Yes, I do. I have just counted and I currently have 10 tabs open - 3 of Mylot pages, 3 of Ciao reviews and 4 of Dooyoo reviews. I like having lots of pages up to vary what I am doing, so I keep busy and don't get bored!

On average I have 5 tabs open at any moment. One of those is my email. It allows me to accomplish a lot more for the time spent online but feel more tabs than that could do the reverse.

Yeah I normally have three or four tabs open at a given time just to go back between some of my main sites that I go to. I love tabbed browsing. It's one of the best thing that some of these internet browsers have come up with. I don't even know how we even managed to function before the creation of tabbed browsing honestly because it just makes things so much easier and convenient to deal with while you're on the internet.

Yes, I remember the days before tabbed browsing. Do not really know how I got along. Everything was rather slower in those days. It does save a lot of time. Thank you for your response. It is much appreciated and it contributed to the topic well. Have a nice day and thanks.

I never open a lot of tabs as it slows the speed of the internet...

I usually have atleast three tabs open too.. Right now I have six tabs open because I am alternating between my social networking websites that I go on.. I'm also watching a tv show online, and replying to discussions on here. I'm a multi-tasker as well.. I'm also cleaning my room and downloading music at the same time.
