Anybody else using "Task Switcher" as a task manager?

Unlike the "Recent Apps" pane that appears when long pressing the Home button, "Task Switcher" shows all the apps that are still running in the background...

As many of you know, the app remains running until you "back" all the way out of it with the back key.

If you open Messages or Gmail for example, and then use the "home" button to exit the application, it is still essentially an active application because you didn't back out.. "Task Switcher" shows you only the applications that have not been backed out, and allows you to re-enter the app, and then back out of it. Upon reopening "Task Switcher" you will see that the app is no longer running.

This seems to work on every app except the browser for some reason... Even after backing out of the browser and closing all windows it seems to remain idly running in the background, although not using many system resources.

Is there a way to make this program open pressing a button other than the camera or keyboard? Possibly pushing the trackball or something else there when its closed? Or coming up during a long press?

Or I guess I can just throw it up on the main window.

^Yeah, throw it on the main window,... Personally im' using the camera button cuz I never use it to open the camera app.
