My Useful Web

As I  mentioned in my previous post, linky is a firefox add-on that lets you open multiple links in a new tab simultaneously. This is going to be useful especially if you are doing searches and you want to view several pages one after the other.

It was created by a person nicknamed Gemal and I give him all the credit for his ingenuity.

Where do I use linky?

I heard about linky from a social networking blog. It was supposed to help me rake multiple page views in with just a few clicks. But I’ve discovered more ways to benefit from linky.

When I’m searching for images on Google or an item on eBay it usually returns more than 10 pages. I open all ten pages simultaneously rather than opening them one by one which means clicking the mouse several times.

If you haven’t downloaded linky yet, you better do it now and see what difference it makes.

Get linky here.

Here’s how to use linky

After you have downloaded linky it will appear when you right-click on your mouse. I am assuming that you are using right-hand mouse, otherwise do the opposite.

Here’s a detailed instruction how to use linky

You see the highlighted page numbers? Right-click within the selected numbers and point your mouse to Linky then click on Open Selected Links in tabs. It will take you to another dialog box like this

ClickOpen-selected-links button and all those pages will open in new tabs. It saves you time and energy.
