You know, I've found it a lot stabler than Netscape 3/4 on Solaris...
Eats up only slightly less memory than 4 does too. It's not as responsive
Netscape, but it hangs on to a load of Windowisms - Bringing a newly
downloaded webpage to the focus, middle mouse button doesn't open a new
window, cut and paste doesn't work the unix way etc. etc.
I've gone back to using multiple versions of Netscape 3. *sigh*
