I agree about that. But that just makes a browser adequate, assuming there are no major problems elsewhere. To be "excellent" it must not only pass those tests at a high level, it also must be nearly bug-free, have the features I want in a browser, be able to disable the features I don't want, and be fast. There aren't any excellent browsers available for Unix. But there are better browsers available than the ones I've found for Windows. http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
