I tried Mozilla 1.1 when it came out but found that after an hour or so my entire system started slowing down (a lot) and I had to reboot within about two hours. Mozilla 1.0 was also slightly slower than IE 5.5 (which I normally use) although not to this extent. I ended up uninstalling 1.1 in less than a week because obviously my computer is just too old to handle it (Cyrix 200Mhz chip, makes Brett's slow 500 look speedy ;)).

So when I read this thread I decided to try Phoenix. Not only do webpages render slightly faster but my system doesn't slow down at all. I've used it for several hours on a couple of occasions and didn't have to reboot once. Before I switch completely and make it the default I need to try it out while running a number of other programmes (as this is how I normally browse and was impossible with 1.1) but based on results so far I think it will be OK.

A stripped down browser like this is just what I need, I don't want a load of fancy features because I don't use them anyway. And I want to ditch IE if I can. So I'm happy :)
