Help Stock web browser questions

I have the Thunderbolt, if that matters any.

Anyway, my first (and main) question is, is there any way to "exit" the browser without just pressing the Home button? For example, I like how in the Dolphin HD browser, if you hold down Back, it gives you the option to exit the browser.

I know the Back button can close the stock browser if you go back through all the pages you've been to, but if you've browsed through a number of pages, you'll have to press Back a LOT to get to that point.

My other question is, is there any way to reorganize the order of your bookmarks?

The stock browser does not offer an Exit button. Why can't you just press the home button?

I haven't found a way other than installing a bookmarks app.
 
Not sure why you need to use the stock Browser, but if you do, you can quit by opening a new window and then hitting the Back button.
 
I have the same concern as original poster. I try to 'back' out of whatever pages I've been to so I can 'close' browser properly (so it won't continue to use data) but depending on the sites, I sometimes end up right back into the same site. It's the sites that I have to log into with userid and password that won't close even though I logged out. It seems like a security risk to leave the brower open at that point and just 'go back to home'. Is there another way to know my browser is really closed out without going into Applications and Force Close the browser? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can give.
