It’s at least a few weeks old now, but the Mozilla-based Phoenix is new to most people, I’m sure. It’s on version 0.3, so it may not work for some things, but it’s fast, simple, and has a couple cool features.

Selective pop-up blocking – by default, all unrequested popup windows are blocked, but you can add specific sites to your “whitelist” of sites that you will allow popups from.

Selective image blocking – rather than the usual all-or-nothing approach to image loading, you can specify certain servers that you don’t want images from. Saves a lot of time when you block the advertising.com server, among others.

Of course, it also has tabs, like every browser but IE, and it allows you to set a minimum font size, also like everyone but Microsoft. I want my mouse gestures, though, so I’ll probably stick with Opera for now. It’s nice to see browser development is not stagnant, though.
