444 | Chapter 7: Networking and Internet
If you don??™t want to turn off tabbed browsing or mess with add-ons, you can
use keystrokes to control what happens when you click links:
Internet Explorer
Hold Ctrl when clicking a link to open it in a new tab, or Shift to open
it in a separate window. If you have IE??™s pop-up blocker set to the highest
filter level, you can also press Ctrl-Alt to temporarily allow pop ups
from the site.
Firefox
Like IE, hold Ctrl when clicking a link to open it in a new tab, or Shift
to open it in a separate window. You can also hold Alt to save the link
target on your hard disk.
SeaMonkey
Hold Ctrl when clicking a link to open it in a new window, or Shift to
save the link target on your hard disk.
In any browser, you can also right-click a link and select Open in New Window
or Open in New Tab to control tabs from the comfort of your index
finger.
Surf Anonymously
Web sites you visit know more about you than you probably realize. Along
with the browser signature (see ???Live with Firefox in an IE World,??? earlier in
this chapter), your browser sends your PC??™s Internet IP address to every web
site it visits, and from that, a web site can extract some pretty interesting
things. (See the upcoming ???What Can They Find Out About You???? sidebar
for the nitty gritty.)
Use a proxy server to mask your IP address (and yes, your state) from the
web sites you visit.
