If you are working between a number of websites or you are performing lots of research on your web browser, it is easier to open and browse through multiple tabs rather than going back and forth between web pages.

By default settings, Google will load a search result link upon the search result page. This indicates that if the user wants to check out the other links provided on the search result page, they will need to tap the back arrow or the front arrow in the toolbar consequently.
