The point is, I don't want to have to digest text, I want to be able to
look at a non-text graphic that tells me what something is. If I have
more than 10 browser windows open, I *have* to look at the text to find
what I'm after, and it's not worth having more than 10 open if I have to
go to that much effort to find what I want. So unless I have 10
different browser programs installed, or 10 different available icons
for the same browser, I don't want to deal with 100 browser windows
open. Searching through the text of more than 10 things with identical
icons is more trouble than it is worth *to me*. Evidently, you have a
different opinion on the subject, which is fine.
