Take full advantage of tabbed browsing on all Internet browsers. While reading an article or browsing a website, you may come across a link that interests you. Any link to another page can be opened in a new tab so it does not interrupt your reading. To perform this action, hold down the Ctrl key and left-click the link. If you have a mouse with a wheel, click the link by depressing the wheel instead of rolling it. Either of the methods opens a link in a new window.
Tip: To open a new blank tab, press Ctrl+T at the same time.
You don't need the HTTP:// portion of a web page
When entering an Internet address, you do not need to type HTTP:// or even www in the address. For example, if you wanted to visit Computer Hope, you could just type computer Hope's free computer help and press Enter. To make things even quicker, if you are visiting a .com address you can type computerhope and then pressCtrl+Enter to type out the full www-computerhope-com address.
Quickly move between the fields of a web page
If you are filling out an online form, e-mail, or another text field you can quickly move between each of the fields by pressing the Tab key orShift+Tab to move back a field. For example, in the example form below you can click in the "First Name" field type anything and press Tab to switch to the next field.
 
Use Internet search engines to their full potential
Get the most out of every search result. If you are not finding what you want, try surrounding the text in quotes. For example, searching for 'computer help' without quotes returns results with "computer" and "help" anywhere on the page. However, if you search for "computer help" with the quotes it only returns pages with "computer" and "help" next to each other.
Tip: In every search box, you can press Enter instead of using the mouse to click the Search button.

Make sure your browser and its plugins are up-to-date
An Internet browser can have many plugins that give it additional functionality. For example, Adobe Flash is a great way to bring movies and other animated content on the Internet. Keeping these plugins up-to-date is vital for your computer stability and also security.

Use online services

There are hundreds of free online services that can help make using your computer easier, more productive, and more enjoyable
