When I link from one page to another (after telling IE8 that it's OK to do so) I get different colours on the tabs at the top. Green, red, purple and yellow, so far. Can someone tell me what they mean.
I'm assuming it's a security thing, green=OK and so on, but purple? TIA.

purple means its a gay site

Yes. Thank you Tunnie

"The colors represent that the tabs are related, meaning that you followed a link from one page, IE opened another tab and assigned the same color as the previous tab, so that way the tabs that are derived from other tabs are now all grouped and it’s very easy to see this, very useful when you have multiple tabs open for different purposes" says people

I moved from IE7 and it's not much different.
