(1,060 posts)I have a good friend that knows how to keep a computer updated. I have 32 gigs of RAM (random access memory) that allows me to keep a lot of windows and tabs open at the same time. I also use a product called Malwarebytes that has kept me virus free for 10 years. I am NOT a tech wiz, but my 78 year old mind knows that a bit of tech challenge is good for me.

(9,867 posts)On iOS, hold down and select "open in background". Dunno for android.
On computers, one of the following:
Command click (Apple) (opens in new tab) settable in browser preferences
Control click
Right click (any mouse but Apple's. Get one at Office Depot. USB always works. )
