Horse Browser is a new web browser, designed for online research. As you browse, every link opens in a new page and is saved on a Trail, a list of nested pages stored in your sidebar. This means you can keep track of research and say goodbye to the messy tabs you’re used to.
In this post, we’ll explore how to prevent duplicate tab clutter with Horse Browser. And we’ll also learn quick shortcuts to create duplicate tabs, for times when you need to double up.
➤ The problem with duplicate tab clutter
Ever found yourself Googling the same thing twice just to avoid navigating through a jungle of open tabs? Next thing you know, you've got ten duplicate tabs clogging up your browser. With traditional browsers, like Google Chrome, Safari, and Edge, the problem of duplicate tabs is all too familiar.
You're in the middle of drafting an email in one tab, get sidetracked, only to return and re-open your inbox in a new tab... where you start composing the same email all over again! Result? Doubled-up work and effort, and a browser cluttered with unnecessary tabs.
➤ Horse Browser redirects to stop duplicate tab clutter
Horse Browser automatically re-directs you, whenever you accidentally open the same page twice. So you’ll always be taken to the original page, rather than opening up a new one. This helps keep your browser clutter-free. And saves you time searching through the same tabs over-and-over.
