Regardless -- for the vocal objectors, do the same objections apply
to opening a new tab?
Pretty much. That's just a smaller version of the same problem.
Think of it this way: when you change channel on the tv, you
expect it to change channel, not switch on a second tv to the
new channel. That's crazy, isn't it?
Not only crazy, but the Worst Analogy EVAR :-)
Opening a new tab does nothing like "switch on a second computer".
And that's aside from the fact that I utterly hate the Flintstone
technology we call "television" -- single window, no integrated
on-screen nav -- the dumb terminal of media delivery. Appalling
that we still have crap like this in the 21st Century.
Regardless, I suspect that there's a significant difference in the
user perception of tabs vs. windows, but I'd like to know if anyone
has done any actual studies.
