The latest Zilla is 1.2b. No clone of IE, IMO. But though N4.8 corrects 
4.7's problems with security, it can't keep up with today's web: can't 
display pages at all which Zilla has no problem with. Now if you're gonna 
test, be fair and at least move both Cache folders out of the System 
prefs folder. I keep each on separate ramdisks. This is on a G3. For a 
601ppc though, maybe iCab is your best bet of all. You can control which 
browser a site thinks it is, in the prefs.
