The Notebook Review forums were hosted by TechTarget, who shut down them down on January 31, 2022. This static read-only archive was pulled by NBR forum users between January 20 and January 31, 2022, in an effort to make sure that the valuable technical information that had been posted on the forums is preserved. For current discussions, many NBR forum users moved over to NotebookTalk.net after the shutdown.
I don't understand. You prefer opening new windows for pages and the fact that you can't disable a feature that you never have to use is the deciding factor? Tech people are weird.
PS: I hate tabbing because my left side mouse button can be (and is) programmed to close a window, but not a tab. If I had eight tabs and click my left side button, it will close all 8 tabs. So why bother. I never have more than 8-10 windows open at the same time. And tabbing requires me to click on each tab to move between them. I can use the left-right click of my scroll wheel to move between windows, especially browser windows. So much easier...IMO.
that, and 'ctrl + tab' or 'ctrl + 1-9' cycles through the corresponding open tabs in all browsers that i've used. so it's good that you never have more than ten windows (would-be tabs) open at any given time. i wonder if you can reassign your left/right mouse wheel clicks to cycle tabs...
Too much effort. I don't like having to use my keyboard to move between windows. My left and right scroll wheel click does that for me, and the middle scroll wheel click opens a new window. If Microsoft ever updates their mobile mouse software so the scroll wheel buttons and left side button can manipulate tabs, then I will go back to tabbing. Until then, it's world of windows for me.
