Have you ever visited a page in your search results only to find that it wasn’t what you were looking for?  Wouldn’t it be a lot easier if you didn’t have to hit the Back button, sift through more results, and then click another link hoping it contains what you want?

Well… You don’t have to!  Google has a nice feature that allows you to automatically open any search results that you click on in a new browser window.  Then, you can click on a few links you want and the pages will open up in new windows. 

When you’re done clicking links, just go down to the taskbar and find the new windows that have opened.  If you don’t like the pages, just close the window and take a look at the next one instantly!
