I use Netscape 7.02, if you give it enough memory it is a lot faster and I
think the can probably be said for Mozilla as the share the same code base I
think, so give Netscape more memory and see how it runs then.
It also helps that I use a cable Modem while I use Netscape.
I like iCab, but yeah it has major problems with CSS, the good news is that
there is a 3.x beta of iCab that one can use if the registration is paid or
one can wait until it is out of beta and use the limited version. The 3.x
version of iCabdoes work with CSS and is in active development, also there is
a good Yahoo Groups list for iCab where they discuss the beta. I don't use
the beta, but I do belong to the email list.
if you used to use iCab, maybe you should consider paying the registration
and getting the 3.0 beta.
Firefox is a Mozilla based browser that also has a OS X version, there is no
OS 9 version though. Thunderbird is the email companion and it also is OS X
only.
