Abstract:
A user interface (UI) button is implemented with enhanced web browser functionality. The UI button is a tab page button that may be selected to open a new tab page within a web browser. A user of a web browser may also select the UI button to display a drop-down menu that includes one or more links to recently visited webpages, favorite webpages, applications, and/or other UIs associated with a computing device. A pointer, such as a pointer controlled by a mouse coupled to the computing device, may be caused to hover over the UI button. Such a hover action may cause the web browser to display a drop-down menu that includes one or more links to recently visited webpages, favorite webpages, applications, and/or other UIs associated with the computing device.
