I wish my browsing were as fast as the other things I do under Windows!
Nearly anything is over before I get my finger off the <ENTER> key. Note that
I said key, and not mouse button. Unfortunately, the Windows browser doesn't
work as well with keys as the rest of the GUI. One CAN learn to use the
keyboard, though.

Netscape 6 for Mac OS X is horrible. I hate the way it looks and acts, it's
unstable, slow... Just picture Windows as a browser and you'll get the idea.

I'll be glad when it's finally gone, along
with AOL, though.
AMEN! I dunno about the Windows version, but NS 6 for Linux is a
buggy farce of a resource hog. Netscape was one of the front runners in
developing a Linux port of their mainstream application, and the Linux
port was always at least as stable as the Windows one. If that's still
true, Netscape is headed for the dumper. The quality & stability of the
Netscape suite has declined almost since the day AOL bought 'em. "More
features! Screw debugging!"
I run Mozilla in Linux, and Opera (yes, I even paid for it) in
Windows. The two MacOS machines run NS 3....
