As they evolved over a period of time, new features were added as a result of the competition in the market as well as the rising needs of the sweling internet user group.

One such feature is the creation of Multiple Tabs in a browser window. Each tab provided an option for opening a new webpage on the same browser in a different tab so that you need not have to enter a new website after coming out of the old one or open a new browser window.
