Tab Candy vs. Tab Stacking: Similars… but differents
The introduction of the tabs inside browser interface has change the surf web experience once and forever. Thanks to these, you can keep opening content in a window, allowing you to have your area work organized, optimizing your time and navigation. This is why; interface´s browsers designers are paying more attention to these, feautering innovations in order to take advantage of them from the rest of its competitors.
In the try of making the browser tabs having appropriate functions according to the user profile of the different browsers, we have two functions that, without a doubt, have gained a slight advantage over the others: Candy tab for Mozilla Firefox and Stacking Tab for Opera.
To start with, we can say that Candy Tab helps to organize information, bringing together the different Mozilla Firefox tabs by subject, allowing the user to have all the content he is querying organized. Candy Tab allows the groups of tabs created to be moved around the screen and even add them a title. Also by click on a tab, the group will expand, showing the group created.
Stacking Tab is the bar create by Opera and works under a simple concept. Allow you to drag several tabs, one above the other, so that they remain together. To see the groups we have created just double-click on the group you want to see or simply leave the cursor over the tab. Whether the concept that Opera’s engineers managed to develop Stacking Tab is not as risky as the one created by Mozilla Firefox, the logic that handles this one is more intuitive, which implies a different attitude and mental thoughts by users when using one or the other. To know which of the two methods of grouping tabs is the best, we must see if users get used to the logic thought by Stacking Tab.
