Agreed, Netscape 4.7 x GNU/Linux (which I have BTW installed before it has been available in the ports) appeared to crash less. (Then I could not support longer Communicator's bloat, and the mail stuff ... I have de-installed it, I have reinstalled the FreeBSD native browser-version only, Navigator, from the ports this time, and I have fortified it: which a stress, it's the most crashing thing that I have seen --plus--: when you see *starting Java ...* you can already start to count the minutes till the next bump. If Netscape 5.0, 6.0 or what it may be will not be ==significantly== better I will drop Netscape.) Hotjava could be not bad ... as a complement to some good, text-only browser; but with the current Java performance on FreeBSD :,( I am curious about Opera or perhaps about some drastically thinned down version of Mozilla. (BTW: Remember to go to the Fortify site to check your browser.)
