It is better on windows. XUL fits in more on windows and linux.

This pretty much sums it up... Try Mozilla Try Mozilla... why is everyone so afraid of Mozilla?

Yeah I agree... but I was running my on Mac OS 7 and not Win 3.11. Ugh!!!

My first browser was Mosiac and I remember how happy I was when Netscape 0.9 came out. LOL!

Thumbs down Netscape still slow, which deeply s#cks

I think I agree with this last one: I've been TRYING to use Netscape 4/6/7 and they're ALL slow, though I hate to admit a Microsoft product can get over the Mozilla one.

But the facts are there:
- Netscape forces you to like AIM/AOL as well as Netscape mail as well as many defualt settings driving you on netscape.com, and this really annoys me
- Netscape is just one big application with plenty of things, of useless things, of SLOW things: some people just need the browser, some want the mail, some want the composer — Netscape forces all out of the way to them. Annoying too !
- Eventually, Netscape is SLOW, dramatically SLOW, critically SLOW, stupidely SLOW. And I'm using OSX on a G3/500 so that's enough for Netscape.

Yes, taht's enough: Opera is ok, Chimera is on my desktop (tesing tonight), OmniWeb just crashes all the time, and M$IE works VERY well in a VERY Aqua interface and with very much OSX spirit ! I'm waiting for that much effort from Mozilla before using.
