Introduction

Tabbed browsing is now the standard interface offered by all major web browsers, and its been argued that the browsing experience becomes difficult to manage when more than a handful of tabs are opened.

In conjunction with our recent focus on tabs and their possible reinvention (see the Summer 2009 Design Challenge: Reinventing Tabs, as well as in numerous blog posts) this study will seek to provide designers and developers additional information and insights to help inform the design of future tabbed interfaces.
