And it's a classic, which millions of people run. There's no excuse for creating pages that it won't render properly. It had some spyware features, but there were options to disable them. Those options disappeared in 6.0. > I run 6.0, which is also obsolete, I guess, but I only use it to >test pages. Netscape 6.0 is bloated spyware and crashes on many machines.... Far inferior to Netscape 4.x, IMHO. I've thought about running Mozilla, but it seems to retain most of the same bloat and also seems to have spyware features that you can't disable. > My usual browser is MSIE 6.0, Can't trust it.

We have Opera 5.1 running on some systems, but Opera 6.0 is a CPU and memory hog; it brings many of our systems to their knees. Of all of these, Netscape 4.79 seems to be the best tradeoff. --Brett To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-chat" in the body of the message
