In my browser, holding down the shift key and clicking on a link (say, a Perl Monk's handle) pops up another browser window with the contents of the linked page. I can quickly peruse it and kill the window or flip it to the background for later examination.

There's no need to bounce around between posts and home pages using a single window and the Back button. For the most part, I generally have up to three or four windows open at any given time on PerlMonks.

<SHAMELESSPLUG> I just (re)discovered Opera 6 which lets you have multiple tabbed windows in the same window frame -- trés useful when the Start setting is "continue browsing where I was last time." If the last window I close has my several PerlMonks pages in different tabs, those same pages are loaded next time I start the browser. </SHAMELESSPLUG>

<DISCLAIMER> I'm not in any way connected with the people who make Opera; in fact, I tried it in an earlier incarnation many months ago and found it very limited. Perhaps I am all the more impressed now that they're up to par with IE and Netscape. </DISCLAIMER>
