I tried to find out some months ago which browser people preferred.  Since I 
worked out how to stop the worst memory leak in NS4.x (disable Java script) 
it has been usable, but I'd rather more... I want to learn CSS, but it's not 
possible with a browser that is so broken.

Mozilla?  Just as bad, and even more bloaty.
Netscape 6?  No better than Mozilla, really... but that's hardly a suprise.
Amaya?  Wish it handled frames...
HotJava? .................still waiting.......... there's my page!
Opera?  Almost... almost...
Konqeror?  Yes... does CSS, HTML (and isn't tollerant of broken HTML), just 
has a small problem with their Password handling.  It's RFC compliant, but 
not 'user' compliant. (o8

So... I'm still using NS4.75.. and actually thinking IE under Linux wouldn't 
be such a bad thing...
