I didn't know that it did. I surf the net with both Explorer and Firefox browsers open at the same time and haven't had any problems.

But I did double the memory when I bought this new computer. I haven't tried some of the other programs, if what I have works for me there is no point, I have other things to do with my time than spend more time at a computer.

Try Firefox 3. I am running beta 3 on my MacBook Pro and not only does it address many of the memory leak issues so it is much quicker and it is the best at passing the Acid 3 test (IE 6 and 7 by far the worst, then Safari, Opera, Firefox 2, Firefox 3) it looks damn nice in Leopard, the skin they have made makes the app look native.

I have only experienced one issue with it so far, I couldn't open bookmarks, but a restart fixed that. And I generally keep several tabs open over the course of the work week. The only downside is the Web Developers Tool Bar isn't compatible with it yet.
