Please download and install firefox, the mozilla based browser. Then hit Ctrl-T to open a new tab. There are a number of benefits to using firefox, not least the tabbed browsing functionality, but also increased security, and the easy access to a search engine of your choice in the top right hand corner.
A handy hint is click on Tools –> Extensions then click get extensions. There are a large number of extensions available which can make your life easier. Personally I would recommend getting adblock, which cuts down the amount of advertising you see on sites. To get rid of adverts, simply right click on them and select the appropriate option. You will never see ads like that again.
If you are a web developer, check out the Web Developer extension, which allows you to muck about with css and html as well as change the size of the browser window to simulate different resolutions.
