How do you close the web browser?

I don't know if I'm doing this right or not, but currently to close the browser I just press the home hard button. Is this the correct way to close it or is there a proper way to do it? I find that my method always opens the last page I was on. Anyway to disable this?

Apps dont really close as such - they go into the background and Android closes them when it requires their resources.
Hitting home is what I do, and sometimes I go back to my default google window when i open the Browser but often its just where i left it.
This is fine - if i needed to search for something I hit the physical search button anyway. If i want to go to a different site then the bookmarks are there and can be put on the desktop as a shortcut if needed.

What mhewitson says is true BUT, if you use the BACK button instead of the HOME button, the app will usually close right away unless it's being used by something else.

if you hit back enough you get back to where you started, therefore you pick up there next time. Same as hiting home surely

Close all open windows then hit back.

OR if you always want it to open on a specific page/site just add a shortcut to that bookmark and use it rather than opening the Browser/internet icon.

The way i use, is download a task killer from the market like (advanced task killer) you you can pick which apps you want to close

I always used a task killer up until a few days ago because i thought leaving an app open would affect performance. Since i've stopped using a task killler i've noticed an increase in performance, and im not going back to using it.

If you are using the Dolphin Browser (Market app), then it has a specific exit action --- long-press the back button once.

Quick list of running apps? With "Force Stop" option?

Is there any apps which will list all the apps which are currently running on my Desire, and give me the option to Force Stop them, without having to go through the Manage applications option?
I was showing my Desire to a new iPhone 4 owner and was showing him some of the different Launchers I can install on my phone, and because I use Home Switcher to go between them, I think the other Launchers I have installed (HTC Sense & ADW Launcher, I use LauncherPro) are still running in the background.
And the only way I can see to stop them is to go through the Manage Apps program.
I don't want an Automatic Killer, but I would like a list and an option to kill them?
Any ideas?

Press and hold home button

Yes, but that is only the last 6 apps, and it doesn't give a force stop option.
I guarantee that there is aLOT more apps running on your phone than that 6.

I always use Press and Hold on HOME and it will show what processes are active. You can slide off the ones you want to close.
You can use the Back key instead of the Home button and use its built-in Task Manager to close all running apps.
Not really much point on closing apps now days especially in this device.

Need to turn on Developer functions first.
Setup -> General Tab -> About Device
Tap on Build Number 8 times... then it is active.
Then you can go to Setup -> General Tab -> Developer Options and you will find the USB debugging options.

^^^ he said. Enable your dev options in case you miss that.

For the task manager, you can use the widget. You can find it by opening all apps then tick on the widgets and just look for the one that says task manager

Go to Settings/Apps, then choose the app you want, go to Battery and there you can choose any option will work the best for you

Thr app you mention, as it looks, monitors everything about your device, so it always runs in background, now, go to settings, search for battery optimization, and uncheck your app, then in settings>device care>battery>sleeping apps, remove your app, with this, the app should run always, as for the warning itself, there is a toggle to on/off it, some apps, specially older ones,depending on how they were coded eat more battery than newer apps

Thanks for the help guys ? All good now ?
