I always open new windows! That way if a silly sighted person comes onto my computer they have all they need already up and they don't click out of all my work... I love being able to work on 7 or 8 things at once and just alt tab through them all . I always thought tabs were inaccessible because if say a website makes your browser stop, you have to close the whole window and not just the website...

I like tabs. I also like that when I return to the previous tab, I'm exactly where I left off reading. Recently, with more dynamic pages, it has become more and more unreliable to use the back button to get back to where I was. I'm even experimenting with opening links in a separate browser window on purpose. I'd still like to know, though, if a link is about to open in a separate window, even if it's for informational reasons. JAWS does a good job, though, of telling me that a new tab has opened.
