Well, dunno if you heard of it, but there's a web browser called Opera, which is a tabbed browser; that means it can open multiple internet windows into one window and choose which one to view. It also has some advanced customization features, such as downloadable skins for it and such. And you can import stuff like favorites from IE. (it can also be used a an email/IRC chat thingy)
get it at http://www.opera.com
I've also tried another browser called Mozilla Firefox. Its a tabbed browser too, but its not as fast as Opera, but it does have some features Opera doesm't have. I consider it a close second favorite internet browser.

One problem I have with Opera is how it handles iframes. It seems to display/draw iframes much crappier than any other browser. Other than that, the paid version (ad free
) is a really nice browser in my opinion. I like it as well.

Well, I recently noticed Opera has a built-in Email client. I tried it, its great! (works well with Gmail)
Also, download the emi_RSD theme, very nice.

Firefox and Opera are the best browsers out there. Ditch aol, msn, yahoo, and IE. They suck and they are useless. Well except for IE"s built in ftp.

Been using the Flock Web Browser almost exclusively as of late. It is a Mozilla based browser like Firefox. Also use the latest versions of Opera, Firefox, K-Meleon, The World, Seamonkey, Konqueror, and Internet Explorer from time to time. You can tweak Firefox, Opera, or Flock by going to about:config in the address bar. A good tutorial for Mozilla based browsers is located at www.tweakguides.com , on the left side of the web page click the Firefox link. Also a good XP tweak guide there to download as a pdf document. It is good to try out new things from time to time, as to not get stuck in a rut .
