Use Opera

Opera is a cross platform tabbed internet browser with e-mail client, torrent client and feed reader (sometimes called an internet suite). It is faster than Internet Explorer and Mozilla Firefox[1] and supports mouse gestures. Opera was designed with a commitment to computer accessibility for users who have visual or mobility impairments. It was the first to implement tabs, integrated search, zoom, saved sessions, and runs on mobile phones, the Nintendo DS, the Wii, and TVs.
