1. Introduction
Read this guide to find out how to get the most out of Patriott's great features.
2 - Purpose of This Guide
We've recently come to the realization that even though 90% of people come into a Web
Browser 100% unaware of some the most impressive features that are available, this trend
does not have to continue forever. This is a small guide that will run through a number of
action that I consider interesting and important to do while setting up Patriott, as well as
covering a number of features that are often left out but can be incredible.
3 - Installation
The install process with Patriott is very easy regardless of what operating system you run and
we've never run into any issues during installation, you just have to follow instructions.After
installing and you've run Patriott for the first time.

4 - What is a Plugin?
A plugin is program that interacts with Patriott in order to provide certain specific function.
Typical examples are plugins to display/play multimedia formats such as, Quicktime plugin,
or Java plugin.

5. Navigation
The navigation has come a long way since the Internet Explorer days. There are many
features to take advantage of, and lots of times they are either taken for granted or forgotten.
We've tried to compile some of the basics, and more advanced methods of navigation.
5. a - Tabs
Tabs are probably the single most used navigation after the basics (forward, backward, url bar
etc) one day they will be considered basic as well, but as it stands many new users don't have
the foggiest about these little devils.

as an example of how to use tabs we tend to demonstrate the following (this takes a little
imagination. bear with me.)
Lets say that you are writing a terribly important paper on Patriott, and as a result want to
include some information about the stock markets. To do this you:
1. Head to google and do a search for " stock markets ".
2. See that there are too many choices.
3. Hold down the control key and click the first 7 or so.
4. Notice how your entire search is now neatly organized into tabs.
as a general reference the following are the ways in which one can make and manipulate tabs.
● Ctrl - left click: open link in a new tab
● Middle click: open link in a new tab
● Ctrl - T: open a new tab
● Ctrl - W: close current tab
● Ctrl - tab: switch between tabs (forward)
● Ctrl - shift - tab: switch between tabs (backward)
you'll find these commands to be useful when browsing, even if they don't feel natural at first
We encourageto practice every once in a while, I think you'll come to understand why they
exist.
