Using Linear
Browsing Effectively
If popups are blocked then "Open in new window" a context menu item of
browser will be enabled but ineffective and no window will be opened as a
result.
Allowing popups and then using "Open in new window" context menu option to
open a particular link from within a web page in a new window may cause
unintentional consiquences or may be security breaches.
Instead, press "New Linear Browser" button to obtain the same web page
but in a new linear browsing window. Now visit the URL link within this new
browser window. Make sure that popups are blocked.
Example of how linear browsing
can be utilised effectively against security threats.
