Switching between tabs is also easy. There are two basic ways to do this.1. Simply click on whichever web page (tab) you would like to use. All the

tabs are located in the tab bar, which is between the web page and the weather bar in our screenshot.

2. It is also possible to cycle through tabs using keyboard hot keys. To cycle backwards, press the Ctrl and Page Up keys together. To cycle forwards, press the Ctrl and Page Down keys together.
