#1 - Shift+Click or Shift+Enter

Activating this on a hyperlink opens the link in a new window. When you’re doing a keyword search in Google or happen to be on a site that contain lots of useful links, use this function to browse the second level of links. By keeping the first page of links open you preserve your focus in surfing deeper and can just close the window when you’re done.

You also save tremendous amounts of time not having to navigate backwards using your back button thereby cutting out all the unnecessary reloading of pages. Nothing can be more frustrating than trying to decide whether to follow a new lead or return to a previous point to scan the other promising ones. Using this function, you don’t have to decide at once. Try it out and see how much faster you’re moving! Browsing through an entire Google list becomes virtually effortless.

Now if you’re running a tabbed browser (IE7 only, FF, Opera) you can try a variation of this with Ctrl+Shift+Click or Ctrl+Shift+Enter. This opens a new tab in front of the previous page instead of a new window. I personally love Opera for leading innovation on many aspects of browser functionality - it’s quite the browser for techies.

Browsers:

• Internet Explorer 7.0: Shift+Click (new window), Ctrl+Shift+Click (new tab)
• Mozilla Firefox: Shift+Click (new window), Ctrl+Shift+Click (new tab)
• Opera: Shift+Click (new window), Alt+Click (new tab)
