Have you ever tried surfing with a tabbed browser? A tabbed browser allows you to surf efficiently by opening multiple browser window pages that are each assigned a notebook-like "tab." You can then switch quickly through the tabbed pages without having to open a new browser for each window.

For example, if you're reading an article that has links to other online resources, you can just click the link and it will open in the background in a new tabbed page. Opening in the background lets you continue reading your original article without any interruption. When you've completed reading your article you can click the tabs and read the linked pages as well.

Fed up with pop-up ads that open in the background, clutter your desktop and slow down your work? New browsers let you block them with one click of a button. No need to download and install additional pop-up blocker software.

Looking for a certain word or phrase within an article? Just type your word or phrase in the search box and click the "Highlight" button to highlight them in a different color wherever they appear in the article.
Organize your bookmarks and have them automatically open in a new tabbed page when you click on them.

You can have your browser remember the sites you were viewing and automatically open them all the next time you go online.

You can also set up multiple "Home" pages that will all open whenever you start your browser.
Speak a foreign language? So do these new browsers!

Don't just settle for the basics of Internet Explorer when you can easily work smarter and faster. Once you try one of these new browsers, you'll never go back to plain old IE!
