And if you're using Linux, you can use the concept of multiple user
accounts to achieve "different browser" without actually using
different browsers.

i.e. login to your "bank" user for banking, "flash" user for youtube,
main user has javascript and flash disabled.

You can be logged in to multiple accounts at once too.
