# Open webpages in new windows or tabs

When you click a link in a webpage, Safari usually opens the page in the same window or tab that’s currently open. If you prefer, you can open the page in a new window or tab.

Open Safari if it is not already open, and then do any of the following:

Open Safari

- Control-click a bookmark in the bookmarks bar, or a link on a webpage. From the shortcut menu that appears, choose “Open in New Window” or “Open in New Tab.”

- Command (⌘)-click a link or bookmark. Depending on how you’ve set up tabbed browsing, the webpage opens in a new tab, or in a new window.

- Choose File > New Window or File > New Tab, and then type the page’s address in the address field.

- If the tab bar is visible, click the Add (+) button near the right end. Initially, the new tab contains the Top Sites page, or the page you select for new tabs in Safari General preferences.
