forward one page. You can also go to the home page or stop the current transfer
when the circuits are busy.
Tab buttons let you view different sites at the same time, and the built-in search
box helps you look for information. If the feed button lights up, it means the site
offers RSS feeds, so you can automatically receive updates. When a web page
won't load, you can refresh the current page, meaning the page reloads
(downloads again). If you want to mark a website address so that you can easily
revisit the page at a later time, you can add it to your favourites (favorites in
American English), or bookmark it. When you want to visit it again you simply click
show favourites.

hypertext links. Together, these are known as hyperlinks and take you to other
