Sure it's possible... but not a realistic option. If the browser happens
to have reached its maximum amount of connections, I bet it won't obey
the "refresh" header we would set on the page we display, effectively
"breaking" the browsing.

I don't think it's why people open loads of tabs... Freenet's latency
sucks hence "parallelizing" makes sense
