How to Manage Web Pages in Multiple Tabs on Your Samsung Galaxy Tablet

Samsung Galaxy S22 For Dummies

The Internet app on your Samsung Galaxy tablet uses a tabbed interface to display more than one web page at a time. This interface allows you to go from one web page to another with ease.

Here’s how you work the tabbed interface:

To open a blank tab, touch the plus button to the right of the last tab.
To open a link in a new tab, long-press that link. Choose the Open in New Tab (or Open in New Window) command from the menu.
To open a bookmark in a new window, long-press the bookmark and choose the Open in New Tab (or Open in New Window) command.

You switch between tabs by choosing one from the top of the screen.

Close a tab by touching its X (Close) button; you can close only the tab you’re currently viewing.

The tabs continue sprouting across the screen, left to right. You can scroll the tabs to view the ones that have scrolled off the screen.
New tabs open using the home page that’s set for the Internet application.
For secure browsing, you can open an incognito tab: Touch the Menu button and choose the New Incognito Tab command. When you go incognito, the Internet app won’t track your history, leave cookies, or provide other evidence of which web pages you’ve visited in the incognito tab. A short description appears on the incognito tab page, describing how it works.

About the book author:

Dan Gookin has been writing about technology for 20 years. He has contributed articles to numerous high-tech magazines and written more than 90 books about personal computing technology, many of them accurate.
He combines his love of writing with his interest in technology to create books that are informative and entertaining, but not boring. Having sold more than 14 million titles translated into more than 30 languages, Dan can attest that his method of crafting computer tomes does seem to work.
Perhaps Dan’s most famous title is the original DOS For Dummies, published in 1991. It became the world’s fastest-selling computer book, at one time moving more copies per week than the New York Times number-one best seller (although, because it’s a reference book, it could not be listed on the NYT best seller list). That book spawned the entire line of For Dummies books, which remains a publishing phenomenon to this day.
Dan’s most recent titles include PCs For Dummies, 9th Edition; Buying a Computer For Dummies, 2005 Edition; Troubleshooting Your PC For Dummies; Dan Gookin’s Naked Windows XP; and Dan Gookin’s Naked Office. He publishes a free weekly computer newsletter, “Weekly Wambooli Salad,” and also maintains the vast and helpful Web site www.wambooli.com.
