opera is great...for a few reasons...
1. you can have as many browser windows open as you want and it is all
kept in one window so you dont clutter up your task bar
2. Its free if you dont mind a little banner in the top left corner but
you can also pay for a copy without the banner if it really bothers you.
3. They say they have the fastest browser on earth...dont know about
that but it is fairly fast.
4. It works on all sorts of systems so you dont hav to get used to a
bunch of different clients...I use it on windows and linux...and it also
runs on a variety of other platformns.

you can get it at www.opera.com
