I was actually thinking of Opera and Mozilla, so I can't give you any
good browser suggestions :(

However, independently of which browser I use I always set it to use the
'Verdana' and 'Courier New' fonts from "ports/x11-fonts/webfonts".
That takes care of most of the jaggies even in Opera!

Good luck...

I'm trying to find one.  Opera takes up too much space on my laptop
screen and has jagged fonts, mozilla hogs the CPU terribly.  I'm open to
suggestions.  :-)

I *do* however, need encrypton, java, javascript and a few other modern

Try to run a program on a union-mounted FS which uses sendfile() to
transfer data (the easiest to try is the webfsd from the ports tree). It
will send garbage, collected from various places from your harddrive.

Constantly, and with every version of Netscape I can recall using in a
heck of a long time, under Linux or FreeBSD. :( I always figured it was
a Nutscrape thing.

Netscape multitasking less smoothly?

2001-11-15 Thread j mckitrick


I'm running NS 4.78 under 4.4-stable, and I'm noticing something I don't
remember seeing before.  When running NS in multiple windows, the app
will lock up if one of the windows is bogged down.  In other words, if
window A has loaded its page, and Window B is waiting for more data,
Window A becomes blank and unresponsive until the deadlock in B is
released.  Maybe it has always been this way, and I am just now
stressing the system to that point with multiple windows, but I do not
recall this happening under 4.76.  Has anyone else had a similar
experience?
