Try Maxthon, and turn on the Flash Blocker, or their Ad blocking.  Quite
effective.  At least the Flash Ads don't get through here to me.  Some
sites with simple Flash animations come in, but the major news pages with
all their flash ads don't come in at all.  Could also be their ad blocking
links that come with the browser are more effective at filtering the ad
serving servers, as the spots show up with [Blocked Ads] as place holders.

It's free, and does all the tabbed stuff. I find it more effective than
Crazy Browser was.  Certain sites that popups would get around (Drudge, for
example, and WND), Maxthon "kills 'em dead". .
