Netscape was a beast. And I mean that in a bad way. It was huge, and ate up tons of RAM. Netscape 2 was nice. 3 was reasonably lean. 4 was bloated. And after that it was just a sad shadow of what it once was, in terms of speed, features, usability, and just about everything else. It was just Mozilla's uglier, dumber brother.

I miss iCab. I know iCab is still around, but....well, I miss when it was fast and modern. When it first came out, it smacked everything else around soooo hard. And it was small, too. It's still my browser of choice for OS 9 (and 7 and 8, for that matter!), with a third-party build of Mozilla (not up to date, but closer than the official one, at least) as my backup.
