Actually, he'd be better off simply using mozilla instead.  It works
quite well.

BTW, I spoke with Erik, and while my suggestion is fine on a current
system, older systems with less powerful CPUs and less memory wouldn't
have a fun time with mozilla.  In that case, I might suggest using an
older  version of Netscape like 3.x or 4.0.x.
