Abstract
Methods are described to preload a plurality of webpages from a hyperlink list either previously saved or returned by one or more search engines, where said webpages are displayed on demand in a web browser. The web browser has been augmented to display multiple webpages simultaneously and to allow changing the number of webpages displayed. Any displayed portion of this plurality of webpages can be captured to a standard graphics format for later use. The viewing magnification factor can be changed for this plurality of webpages both globally for preloaded webpages not displayed and selectively for displayed webpages. The hyperlinks associated with any portion of this plurality of webpages can be saved as a list of hyperlinks (group bookmark) for later retrieval. A queue of favorite webpages can be dynamically created from this plurality of webpages by selecting one or more webpages and having the associated hyperlinks to said selected webpages appended to a queue of hyperlinks which is available for preloading, display, or saved as a group bookmark.
