It is on the top hit list on the developer’s arena. The Mozilla tab candy. My friend Voytek showed me the video about the tab candy project. I was awestruck and couldn’t even think how that was possible for the developers to think in tat perspective. All I can say is that they got a hell lot of brain. Okay enough dancing; let’s come to the details about the functionality of the “TAB CANDY”.
Actually it’s in the alpha stages right now. Hopefully it will be completely released in the Mozilla 4. Earlier browsers made it easy for the user to open multiple tabs in the same browsers, so that we may not have to navigate between windows. Though it was promising in the very beginning, the browser got cluttered with many tabs which introduced a little chaos in managing every tab. This issue was seriously taken up by the community which gave birth to tab candy effect. It allows to group more than one tab into a single tab. For example, suppose you are in a hectic quest on finding in buying a new laptop, you might have opened Dell, Sony, Acer, Hp, Lenovo etc. Simultaneously you wanted to open your mail box read the current news and some other pages. Now think of the situation how many tabs you might have opened. Now the tab candy comes handy, where you can group the entire Laptop search in the single tab called as LAPTOP and you can leave the rest as it is, so that you can clearly handle all the tabs easily. When you click on the master tab LAPTOP you might see the all the sister tabs which was grouped in that.
Another amazing factor introduced is the sharing a group of tabs with Mozilla sync. When some of your friends are working on a research project then you can share all your research done in the web with your friends by sharing the tab on which you are working on and similarly you can access your friends. Everyone is looking forward to the tab candy in live action.
