Crazy Browser tab question

YTBTravelLady · 11-16-2007, 01:12 PM

Does anyone know how to get crazy browser to open a new window when you open a webpage? Mine always shows up on the tab bar, but never opens. I am so used to a new window opening, I forget to look up there and wind up with a bunch of pages open.

I noticed a lack of interest in your question. I like Crazy Browser and use it regularly, however I think you miss the point of tabbed browsing. It is to keep the number of windows to a minimum. If you can get used to it I feel that you will like it a lot better than windows all over the place. Might help you to try Firefox too, a little better support for it than Crazy Browser. I like to have my new tabs switched to when opened so I am not clicking a link and still looking at the same page. Might help you to go through the settings and get more familiar with them. I know that you are used to the tools bar to get to internet options, etc. In C.B. it is under Options. Make sure and set your advanced options the way you like them. Some of CB functionality that I like best are the opening page set to the same tabs you were on when closed and ctrl +/- will also zoom images with text. Others too, but this is getting a bit long now.

cheers,
Mike

Thanks for all the info. I do use FireFox and am very happy with it too. I just miss having the website I am looking for, not pop up in front instead of in the background. I do understand tabbed browsing and like it. I just installed Microsoft Office 2007 Pro Plus and they use a lot of tabbing. Outlook is especially awesome.
Thanks for answering.

Another thought... under options/advanced options/interface selecting multi-document interface allows you to see windows and tabs. It at first seems not to work until you try out the options in the lower right corner to select how to display the windows, tiled, etc. Might play with this and find something you like.

cheers,

Mike,
Thanks for the help. It works now! Under options, there was a setting "Always activate a new tab". Clicking on that did it!
