The Tab Manager is where all the fun takes place.

  • Open Link from web page:
    • A link on a web page can be opened in a new browser tab. Just touch and hold the link for a few moments and a popup menu will provide you multiple functions one of which is Link in New Tab.

  • Close Browser Tab:
    • To close a newly opened tab or one of the already opened tabs, all you have to do is swipe that tab up with your finger and it gets removed from your tab manager. If you have opened several tab and you want to close a specific one, touch and roll the tabs rollodex of to get to the desired tab.

  • Web Browsing:
    • Usually newly created tabs are blank, unless you've opened one from the Browsing History side menu. While at the Tab Manager tap softly on the image of a tab. It will spring a browser view for you.

    In the location bar, type the url you want to visit and WebbieFourth will open that page for you.

  • Go to Tab Manager
    • Click the Tab Manager button to go back to a set of browser tab thumbnails. If no web site was visited all the images of the tabs will be the default image. As you visit third party web sites a thumbnail for these sites will be stored in the application cache which will become the image of the tab in the rollodex. These images make it easy to scroll through the sites that you've opened. Then you can choose to browse that site or simply swipe the image up to close the web page.

The pages will keep scrolling in a circular motion as long as you swipe right or left. While in the Tab Manager screen, you can circle through the tabs, right or left, until you find the page you want. Tab the page image to open the site.
