However, it's a slow-loading clod that's a resource hog and crashes all day long when I surf. It's alway frozen up with Javascript, especially with pop-ups and pop-unders, even from plain old ad banners, and I have to reboot several times a day because of it. On top of that, now it keeps putting the bookmark folders out of order. Plus, Outlook 2000 is slow and atrocious, won't keep settings, and won't download mail half the time unless I reboot.
With Netscape you have to wait forever for pages to show anything, so I just use 4.7 with JS and CSS disabled to test and occasionally sneak past the annoying ads and pop-whatevers that are around. I will download NS 7 and check it out, it sounds interesting.
To be honest, if it weren't for being so accustomed to the toolbar, I'd take the time to "read the manual" and I'd switch over to Opera for my all-purpose, all-day.
I use Mozilla for general browsing and development work, 'cause I like it's features better -- it's DOM Inspector and Javascript debugging features kick a**. Plus it has it's own toolbar that is more useful to me: a small addon app from XULPlanet.com that lets me enable/disable fonts, colors, images, javascript, java, popups, onload popups, and other things with the click of a checkbox.
I use Opera for testing only. I find it to be a pain to use behind a firewall (username, password, username, password) and IMHO too many pages display poorly in it for a pleasureable browsing experience.
