iRider's patent-pending features let users browse, work with, and bookmark multiple pages and sites far more quickly and easily than any other browser. It goes far beyond the "tabbed browsing" features provided by many other browsers and is completely generalized for browsing multiple pages and sites.
iRider has been hailed widely in the press for true browsing innovation, by Wired magazine, PC Magazine's John Dvorak, TechTV, The Washington Post, ZDNet and many others.
Increasing dissatisfaction with the ubiquitous Microsoft Internet Explorer is spurring many people to consider alternatives, and iRider has gained many converts who are dissatisfied with the features of other alternative browsers, such as Mozilla Firefox and Opera. "It's very gratifying that so many people appreciate the innovations we've implemented in iRider," said Ken Broomfield, CTO, Wymea Bay. "We weren't satisfied with the modest incremental refinements seen in browsers over the last ten years and even in the newest browsers, so we've tried to take browsing to the next level," he said.

That's a load of bull. Retail doesn't need anything done, they just haven't completed the console yet. I'm not the first to say, "I smell a scam."
