Mozilla

Everyone loves tabbed browsing in mozilla. But not everyone knows you can navigate between the tabs without the mouse using ctrl-page-up/down. Neat huh?

(note: requires focus on the page - doesn't work if the location entry has the focus)


And gestures

Galeon supports mouse gestures for nav as well. I dunno if this is a Mozilla thing or just Galeon.

Opera has Ctrl-Tab and Ctrl-Shift-Tab.

What are you ON! Ctrl-Tab switches virtual desktops! ;-)

Opera also deals with it's tabs better, at the moment Mozilla will still open up a new browser, whereas Opera opens up a new tab. You can defeat this with the right-click open in new tab, but often you just click, and you're not expecting a new browser.

However you look at it though, Mozilla is still a very good browser, that gets better by the day. Perhapse it will soon be good enough for me to abandon Opera - though not on the smaller machines, where only Opera is viable

When to open up tabs is a configurable option for mozilla. Have a look at Edit/Prefs/Navigator/Tabbed Browsing. I set mine to open up a new tab on middle click, which is very convenient.

My page up/down on my PowerBook is fn-up or fn-down. fn-ctrl-up/down for me.
