If you want stability, use 2.9. If you want to help development of 3.0
and can tolerate the occasional crash/freeze*, use the latest builds.

(*as it clearly states on the Netsurf site, use of the development
builds is at the user's risk. As for quality of bug reports, it is
alwasy open to the developers to ask for more/better info on any
particular report. FWIW, I have found the 28-9_19-54-37 build to be
both much faster and stable on my RPCEmu 0.8.9/4.02 Win7 installation)
