I havent seen the dot thing, and javascript seems ok for me.
I turn java off anyway =) If you need java netscape 6 is pretty much
moz 0.6 + java (ready set flame)

I think the old netscape waited for images and stuff. Moz works like
IE rendering as it goes.

Some people would say that accomidating large backgrounds isnt a good

But i like how it tiles what it has and the tile spreads. very cool.

I must say the mail client is good. I would like to see rule based
mail routing when you send email. That would be cool
(eg. if to *@hotmail.com send through x.x.x.x, if to @slug.org.au
through
x.x.x.x)

Is still hogs though.... and the leaks are noticable.
I think people should try it though. Its damned fine, and you can just
copy your old plugins right in without any fuss.
