2. Define tabbed browsing and explain at length how it works and how to use it in Internet Explorer.


ANS:
Tabbed browsing allows you to open multiple Web pages in a single browser window. Each Web page
you open appears in its own tab on the tab row. The active tab appears in the foreground on the tab
row and the remaining tabs appear on the tab row background. You can bring a background Web page
tab to the foreground for viewing by clicking the tab. Pointing to a tab displays a ScreenTip containing
the open Web pages title and URL. The tabbed browsing feature is turned on by default. If the tabbed
browsing feature is turned off, each additional Web page to open will open in a separate browser
window. You can click the New Tab button on the tab row to display a blank tab and then type the
URL in the Address box to open a Web page in a new tab. You can also press the ALT+ENTER keys
after you type the URL to open the Web page in a new tab. Either method places the new tab on the
tab row foreground. To open a linked Web page in a new tab, press the CTRL key as you click the link
to open the tab on the tab row background, or press the CTRL+SHIFT keys as you click the link to
open the tab in the foreground. To close a tab, click the Close Tab button that appears on the right side
of the tab. When you close Internet Explorer, you can close all the open Web page tabs at one time.

3. Explain at length InPrivate Browsing and InPrivate Filtering.
ANS:
Information about the Web sites you visit is recorded in your browsing history. In some circumstances,
you might not want to record your browsing history during a specific browsing session (for example,
when you share a computer and do not want others to see your browsing history). To browse privately,
you can open a new tab and click the InPrivate Browsing link on the New Tab page, or click the Safety
button on the Command bar and then click InPrivate Browsing to open a new browser window. An
InPrivate browsing indicator appears to the left of the Address bar when InPrivate Browsing is turned
on. Note that InPrivate Browsing does not protect your personally identifiable information from being
gathered at Web sites while you browse; it only keeps information about the browsing session from
being stored on your computer. To close InPrivate Browsing, simply close the browser window.
As you browse the Web, you view many Web pages that contain content, such as advertising, provided
by others, sometimes called content providers. When you visit a Web site containing content provided
by third parties, the content providers might be capturing information about your browsing habits
using Web bugs. For example, content providers could display specific advertisements that might be of
interest to you based on the types of Web sites you visit. To protect against this type of data gathering,
you can turn on the Internet Explorer InPrivate Filtering feature by clicking the Safety button on the
Command bar and clicking InPrivate Filtering. When the InPrivate Filtering feature is turned on, each
Web page you visit is analyzed for suspicious third-party content; if any is found, you will have the
option of blocking the suspicious content. If desired, you can set an option to have the InPrivate
Filtering feature automatically block any third-party content.
