I use tabbed browsing, but all I can think of is that is saves maybe one second each time I'm on the internet in that I can just close one window instead of 2 or 3. My habits are basically the same.

Yeah, what changed is I use tabbed browsing. Useful, but not exactly a big whoop.

Tabbed browsing was yet another invention to help facilitate the porn-watching process.

I can load like 8-9 videos at a time and pick and choose which ones I like.

I've actually got tabbed browsing disabled. I can switch between windows quicker than I can switch between tabs.

Though it can be somewhat confusing when multi-tasking (ie watching multiple pornos at once)

The phrase "wait... she wasnt black before" has been said by myself more times than ever since I discovered tabbed browsing.

If you're using FF, ctrl+tab and ctrl+shift+tab allow you to switch quickly.

And, yes, tabbed browsing has changed my internet usage. Instead of making a judgment call on whether every little factoid is worth the effort of further pursuit, I can just ctrl+t and hit tab. Voila, google reveals all with minimal effort.

Tabbed Browsing = That's so last year

With Firefox download the extension "Speed Dial"

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/4810

All The Tabs PLUS I Can have nine or more web pages pictures I can click on, No more Rummaging through Bookmarks

So easy to use and a time saver.... +1
