Actually, I keep it around so I have an "unadulterated" browser for pages that are *really* badly written. I rm -rf ~/.netscape every time I run it, though. > I don't use Java and this happens with or without javascript. > > I have tried changing the scheduling priority to different amounts. > > Anyone use a memory file system for the .netscape files? Netscape has been oinking every since 2.0. Run something else. Seriously. Especially since you don't seem to have Java and JavaScript as a priority. > Any other ideas? I use w3m. When I hit a page that bobby would disapprove of most highly, I hit 2M and skipstone opens on that page. If it sucks so badly that the Mozilla rendering engine configured the way I like it doesn't make it readable and I really need to read it, I hit 3M and up pops Netscape. <mike -- Mike Meyer <mwm@mired.org> http://www.mired.org/home/mwm/ Independent WWW/Perforce/FreeBSD/Unix consultant, email for more information.
