Nokia Lumia 520, Several frustrations please help.

Question

Just brought a Nokia Lumia 520, seemed like a good choice some cpu/gpu/ram as the 720, bigger screen than the 620, would have got the 620 if it was a 4" screen. 
I use a smartphone for these reasons.
Text: Nokia 520/Windows Phone does this well.
Calling: Nokia 520/Windows Phone does this well.
Email: Nokia 520/Windows Phone does this well.
Reading articles/browsing the web: Frustrating.
Internet Explorer doesn't display a large number of pages correctly.
When a website has a menu (links) to swipe through instead of swiping to the next one it both swipes and opens the link, every time. m.IMDB.com for example.
What can I do about this?
Music: Frustrating. 
The volume button on the 520 seems very cheap, it's just a loose bit of plastic on the case it's self, is this normal?
I'm currently a premium member of Spotify, the Windows Phone Spotify app forgets when settings are changed, when I try to stream in high quality it always goes back to normal (which sounds pretty bad). There's also no "extreme" quality option.
Xbox Music Pass, this just seems like a really poorly made app, I've signed up for the premium streaming (as a Spotify alternative). But to get to it I need to click on store\then music, type in the artist I want, and once the music starts, i need to constantly click the "..." button the "more in store" button to change songs within the album, the list it's self doesn't even show you which song is playing, you need press the "<-" button to see the title. And on top of all that instead of the nice clean background there's a picture of the artist, but the picture is stretched and blurred and looks horrible, very off putting.
Also is the a way of seeing the "status bar" type info without pressing the volume button?
Please help me, I'm tempted to go back to Android but really don't want too.

If you hold the back button down without letting it go then all screens that have been left open can be scrolled across screen 1 tap on desired screen opens it as start screen. Same with internet explorer hit the .......... At bottom of screen select tabs and it puts every page visited as a small tile with a. X in corner they can be closed in seconds in the one screen without ever hitting the back button. Hope this is helpful.
