The Mozilla Foundation released Firefox 0.9 last week.

What is Firefox, you ask?  Is the new-from-the-ground-up web browser descendant from Netscape.  Features include automatic popup blocking, tabbed browsing ^*, integrated Google Search, and lots of customizable themes and extensions to enhance the browser's funcationality. 

Firefox can't really beat Safari or even Mozilla's competing Camino for OS X, but it's sick for Windows.  Substaintial improvements over IE.  Definitely worth the download, even to just experiement.

I also recommend Deepest Sender, the built-into-Firefox LiveJournal client I'm using to post this entry.

*Tabbed browsing is a cool new feature of modern web browsers that allows you to open more than one page in a single window.  It's a lot slicker than having tons of buttons in your taskbar.
