You know, I have to agree. Unfortunately many of the alternatives are pretty unstable. I would like to see a basic web browser that handles current java/script, css, HTML/1.? etc without being so bloated that it is unusable and unstable enough to make surfing a nightmare. Mozilla is a good client, but is notoriously unstable. I gave up after trying 2 or 3 different versions, each on 3 different OSs. I would like to see a version of the web client with all the other crap hacked out. Maybe then the web code could be stabilized better. Preferably, this hypothetical browser would let me *choose* my own mail client (there's a new concept). If I want to use a native client, fine, but if I want to use mutt, pine, Exmh, or whatever, I should be able to do that too. Maybe the FreeBSD community should get together and define the 'perfect' web client? Then maybe someone would actually write one for a change. As far as I'm concerned, the web browser should be mousable (web browsers are the only thing that bring me to my mouse anymore), but should be completely workable from the keyboard - one advantage to Lynx.
