I also like the nice page width buttons they have at the top right which let me break out of any pages frame horizontally. Mike:

The IE7 beta has tabs built in and so does all the versions of firefox. I can't imagine opening multiple windows and hogging my system resources that have to manage all these windows. I right click links and open the articles in a new tab ... works in the new IE and FF or like the above user said Shift+Click and viola, a new tab appears. Also I like to ALT+TAB to see different APPLICATIONS not different WINDOWS. Tabs works great and an easy CRTL+T opens a blank tab and CTRL+TAB lets you browse your open tabs within FF. IE7 has even more features. Once you get used to the tabbed environment it's literally awesome. I've met very few end users who dislike tabs.

But, I don't think you can have a link open in a new tab automatically. From a marketing standpoint, opening in a new window virturally ensures your homepage won't be closed. I also don't know too many people who are going to open 16 different windows at once. It's much easier to click on a link, have it open in a new window, close the window and continue browsing that page you were browsing. It's really a pain to have to keep click the back button, especially if there's a link in the new window you opened that you want to check out. You can go on and on in the new window and when you done... just close it and you're back on Tradermike.net. I’m with the camp that likes links to open in new windows or tabs.

No problems here. I use tabs in what I refer to as my 'main' browser window with all my favorite sites but I like new windows when I wander thru links. That's because sometimes you can get so deep it's a pain to back your way out so it's easier to just kill the 'wandering' window and I'm back home. To each his own.

I understand R's and prefer the increase in net worth concept - but I respect the R's - as for tabs - I had to think - actually I open new tabs without thinking when I need them and sometimes just move from one window to another and come back if I want. Well the Q's seem to be held up at 40 like they only have one place to go....lets talk about that.

So what if they have to standardize the frame size? anything that REALLY saves my time is worth your quibbles about resizing the frame! Jay Michael,
