Web Browsers that I use...
Multitask could be my middle name. The way I keep track
of all the different activities on (while 3 different
computers) is use a variety of browsers and utilize
their strong points. This a is not a better than choice, rather taking
what stands out and using their strenghts for my advantage. Some I save to continue my setting and login while others
would rather clean the cache.
Cleaning the cache is no longer a big deal. Cache was important when everyone had narrow band
connections and slow processors. Cache has been slowly losing it's relevance especially since spammers like to
use cache to load malware, pop-ups etc.. I only preserve cache (temporary history files) on websites that I will re-use and
dedicate a browser that be fits my needs...
Here is how I benefit from them:

My most used as I get the power of
the Mozilla Project, html composer (which I keep several desktop blogs for personal use),

Firefox must have more plugins, addons, and
skins than any browser available.

Super fast menu, light weight and clean interface. Auto scroll 3 speeds while quickly going back and
forth from Full Screen Mode, great for viewing entire blogs or image galleries hands free.

Here is a simple and straightforward way to bring users up-to-date on current news relating to the main web browsers. This particular subject deserves special attention, and should not be lumped together amongst the rest of the endless information provided in daily feeds.

Heart of the Mozilla Project then partnered with AOL,
takes me back to the 90's when Netscape dominated
the web by Marc Andreessen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marc_Andreessen
co-author of Mosaic. Since Netscape Mr. Andreessen has been involved with Digg and Twitter.
The big "But"... but now this puppy has been finally put to rest (sad to say), from Netscape's blog:
"As announced previously, as of March 1st, all official support for Netscape browsers has ceased, including all security updates. Early next week, users of Netscape Browser 8 will be presented with an update that will allow them to migrate directly to the current version of Flock.
Since Netscape Browser 8 no longer receives security updates, the Netscape team at AOL strongly recommends that those still using Netscape upgrade to a safe browser alternative. Flock is just such an alternative, based on a strong Firefox core with many additional features that allow you to manage your webmail and social networks. Plus, the core team that originally built Netscape Browser 8 is largely still intact, and is the same team that builds Flock."
