Mozilla Firebird
On a strong recommendation from Andrew, I tried out the new browser from Mozillla -- the Firebird. Been using it for about half an hour now and boy, its impressive. Its a stand alone browser, lean, fast and has some very impressive features. It has google search and an effective pop-up killer built in. My favourite feature though is tabbed browsing, which can rightly be described as the TiVo of the Internet.
Tab-Browsing can be likened to a TiVo DVR with two tuners - record two programs while you watch another - but in the case of Tab-Browsing you can download many pages in the background while you read the first. TiVo has changed the way people watch TV, and likewise Tab-Browsing is a revolutionary change to the way you browse the internet.
If you need more reasons to try the Firebird out, look here.
