We Love Opera
If you are tired of inflexible web browsers, take a look at Opera. I've used it for years and with each new release I love it more and more. It's fast, secure, has an extremely customizable UI, has tabbed browsing with thumbnail view, integrated RSS reader, email and Bit Torrent downloader, password database... plus a ton more features that make it the top browser in my opinion.Some of my favorite features are:
1. Ctrl+Z will open tabs that you've accidently closed. I use this all the time.
2. Page zoom. I use this to zoom in on problem areas in a design.
3. Easy keyboard short cuts (just click the Z key to go backwards in your history!)
4. Password storage. I don't remember life without this feature.
5. Page load progress bar. You don't just get a turning icon when a page loads, you get a bar that contains all the details of what's going on. This is great for troubleshooting web development work.
6. Extremely customizable interface. I've removed all the buttons that I don't use and I've added several tools bars where I add quick links to sites that I constantly access.
