I'll throw out a recommendation for those who rely on Internet Explorer. You should really take a look at this free download which runs on top of IE

The advantages are great. Instead of multiple instances of pages across your taskbar, everything is tabbed to switch among pages (and it may be my imagination, but pages seem to load faster). Also, a builtin popup ad blocker.
Give it a try and let me know what you think.
