Well, how does it perform on, for example, http://www.w3.org/Style/CSS/Test/CSS1/current/ ? If it doesn't handle it right, it's not standard compliant, it's buggy, period. I haven't used IE but from what I've read IE (5 and up) is far more standards-compliant than NS 4. Mozilla/NS6 do handle this stuff right. > > 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. You're right, it was a premature release of mozilla-0.8 (or perhaps 0.7) done mainly for marketing reasons. Mozilla has rarely crashed on me since version 0.9 or so, and its speed has improved greatly. From whatever I've read about Netscape 6.2 and up (based on mozilla 0.9.4), it's very stable too. I kept Netscape 4 around as a backup until around 2 months ago, but I no longer even have it installed and don't need it at all.
