Avant Browser is the Browser I use the most and is the one I suggest. It uses the IE Engine and IE Settings are Inherited however it has much more features. The handiest of the features is the use of an MDI System which allows all browser windows to be integrated into one window, then you only need to click arrows in the menu to move between windows and you are left with one item in the taskbar instead of loads.

It is freeware by the way (the last I checked at least).
On Linux I used to use Mozilla.
