Opera
From Cship
Opera is a free web browser (like Firefox or Internet Explorer) running on most operating systems. It supports email, IRC and Bittorrent out of the box.
The new version Opera 10 has a "Turbo feature" build in, which uses a special proxy server from Opera in Norway to compress the websites so that you have to download less and the website shows up faster. This is also known as a Web accelerator (similar services for other browsers are fasTun and Google Web Accelerator). Please note that Opera stills sends your real IP in the "HTTP_X_FORWARDED_FOR" header, so you can't use the Opera proxy to surf anonymously.
There is a special version of Opera bundled with Tor, called OperaTor.
