Web Browsing Features
Some of the browsing features are as follows:
Tabbed Browsing (Ctrl+T): Tabbed browsing allows users to view multiple web pages within the same
browser window. For instance, if you want to compare two types of plants, such as trees and shrubs, you
can open each in separate tabs to make comparison easy.
Back and Forward Buttons (Alt + Left or Right Arrow Keys): The back and forward buttons help you
navigate through your browsing history. Clicking the “Back” button takes you to the previously viewed
page, while the “Forward” button takes you to the next page in your history. For example, if you are on a
page about flowers and click the “Back” button, you will return to the previous page you viewed.
Refresh Button (F5): If a web page doesn’t load correctly, you can reload it by clicking the Refresh button
or pressing F5. This action ensures that you see the most updated and complete version of the page.
