On Windows and most Linux DEs, each window is given its own entry in window switching keyboard shortcuts, and (though you have to enable it in Windows XP and up) the task bar. I keep several Chrome windows open at once for this precise reason, along with separating windows by workspaces/virtual desktops. I don't mean any offense, but this is a problem with OSX's window management, not any web browser. Dock-style "1 icon per application" instead of taskbar style "1 icon per active window" is a convention I have never liked on any OS. In exchange for one kind of interface simplicity, you give up a great deal of flexibility when running multiple instances of a program.
