Difference Between a Thread And a New Window?

[Randy Role 1]

Hey guys,

 

so I read this post back from April 2010 (lol), and I didn't fully understand the difference between doing something in different threads than in different windows.

 

Is this a correct example?

 

I want to login to facebook with three accounts.

I login with account A using chrome.

If I open a new chrome window, I'll be already logged in to account A, so to login with account B, I'll need to open up firefox, for example, and to login with account C, I'll need to open up a IE?

 

So each thread in ubot is alike a different browser?

The thread was talking about ubot 3.5

So if you have version 4 forget it

So in v4 there's no difference between threads and in new browser?

A new browser is a new browser window. A thread allows you to run multiple tasks simultaneously. So if you wanted to search google for two keywords at the same time, you could do that using two threads, whereas if you used two browser windows, one would have to finish before starting the second one.
