Why isn't a new tab opened any longer?

When multiple tabs are opened, how does the browser know which content belongs to which tab while rendering?

  • for example, if i have opened two tabs one is "http://google.com" and other is "http://yahoo.com", how will browser correctly render the content in respective tab.

  • Answer:

    The same way Word knows that your resume and your grocery list are two different documents -- that's how the software is written. The OS has different, separate network connections for the connections needed to load the two sites, the browser has different spaces for them in memory and in the on-disk cache, and so on and so forth. If computer programs regularly mixed these sorts of things up, there would be absolute chaos.

To add things to Colin Barrett's answer, If you request something in the internet our computer will have a socket which is a combination of ip address and a port number. The server will recognize a request with this combination. Every process will communicate with a different port number while every computer will have it's own ip address to recognize it in the entire network. Every tab is a different process. It is more like a mail delivery. The typical mail address will have a structure similar to Name,Street address, country etc. Let's consider it as Name and Address. Address corresponds to ip address and name corresponds to a port number. Each and every tab will have a different name(port).
