Tabbed browsing allows us to save a lot of space in the Taskbar. Each new browser window takes up space in the Taskbar. Tabbed browsing makes sure only one browser window is open; this occupies the least space on the Taskbar. We can then open as many webpages we want in this single window using tabs.However sometimes when we click a link in some other program or even within our open browser window, it opens in a new browser window, rendering tabbed browsing useless. We need a way to merge all tabs being used into one browser window rather than spreading them out into multiple windows.

If we add too many websites, our shortcuts on the bar become scrollable and in addition to clicking an extra button to reach our shortcut, it becomes more difficult to find our desired bookmark.A quick fix for this problem comes in Iconized Bookmarks Popup.
