Be patient, the web is almost always slower than we would like it to be. Do not click more than once on any button or link.

Here are some tips and tricks for increasing the value of your web surfing experience. For most of us, the most important one is: be patient, the web is almost always slower than we would like it to be

. Do not click more than once on

any button or link.

After you have clicked on a link or button, you should see some kind of indication that the browser got your request and is trying to download the next page. These indicators include an animation in the top right corner of the browser window or indicators in the address bar or the bottom left corner of the window.
If you do not get these indications that something is happening, then click the button or link again. If you get impatient and you want to click on some other link or button, click the Stop button first. If you feel that the information retrieved by the browser is incomplete or wrong, click the Reload or Refresh button.

Load a new page while another one is still loading

Downloading, or just loading, generally refers to the acquisition of content (text, images, etc.) from a server by the browser. Unless you have a very slow connection, you can load more than one web page at a time into separate browser windows. Rather than just clicking on a link, right click (or hold the mouse down on the link if you're using a Mac) and select "open link in a new window" from the popup menu. This menu item may be slightly different in your browser (i.e., "Open Link in New Window").A newer variation on this theme is tabbed browsing. Several modern browsers allow you to open links in tabs instead of new windows. The effect is the same, there is just much less clutter on the screen.Then you can click back on the original page, read some more, or even open another link in a new window, while the other page is still being loaded. There is a practical limit to the number of windows )or tabs) you can have open at one time. Usually two or three windows will provide plenty of things to read about or look at while the other windows are downloading their content.

Using the Back button
    The Back button (in the upper left corner of the browser window) will usually take you back the last page you were on. Sometimes when you click on a link, a new window is opened and the Back button won't work. The Back button always takes you back to the previous page that was opened in that browser's window. So when a new window is opened, the Back button doesn't have anywhere to go back to. Get used to using multiple browser windows and selecting them either from the Window menu or by clicking on the window's borders.
    Another thing you can do with the Back button is to go back to a page other than the last one opened in that window. If you hold the mouse down on the back button for a couple of seconds (in most browsers) or the little down arrow next to the back button (in some other browsers) you will see a popup menu of all the pages you have opened in that window. Then you may select one of the pages from the
