Too many users are stuck in the mindset that they can only use one application at a time. While only one can be on top at any given time, you can use multiple programs to increase productivity. Recently, I was viewing a Web page (upon which sat several links). Instead of clicking a link then hitting the back button to return to the index, I opened up another browser instance. By dragging and dropping the links onto that second window, I saved quite a bit re-loading time. This tactic also comes in handy when you're navigating search engine results; as you're waiting for the desired page to load, you can continue to browse the list of query results.
