this is Netscape we're talking about - none of them are stable. I use
navigator (not communicator, navigator on its own is big enough) version
4.61 from the FreeBSD CD. Doesn't seem too bad, just crashes every now
and again for no apparent reason.

I also use Lynx from time to time, but I find an increasing number of
sites are broken in that (e.g. the lusers who say "your browser doesn't
use frames, get Netscape, IE, or piss off", or rely on JavaScript
for forms to work (duh? don't they know how to use <form> with a CGI
script?)).
