Tabbing

When you have an outline task when searching on the internet e.g. finding a rare item on shopping websites for such a long time that you have opened up a series of tabs to attempt to achieve this goal. The word is used in place of stating a URL when asked what you are doing on the internet
Person 1: Hey man, you've been on the computer for 6 days now, what are you on?

Person 2: I'm just tabbing for a new swimming pool filtration system.

Person 1: that's great, but seriously, take a shower...
