I've got MSIE 6.0, and Netscape 4.6 and 6.1 and Opera 5.5. Actually I have 10 other ones too, but you wouldn't be interested in those.

MSIE 6.0 is very unstable and crashes a lot. Netscape 6.1 is a heavy hog on memory. It's slow, jerky, and Windows does not seem to regain the memory spent on Netscape. Your computer just seems to get slower and slower until it dies. When 6.1 crashes on my computer it takes down the whole OS and I have to re-boot.

Netscape 4.6 is the one I used for that last couple of years, but it drains memory too. MSIE 6.0 crashes, as I said -frequently, but it does not seem to drain the system resources.

Opera is the best. There is a freeware version that serves you ads, but for $30 you can buy it and get rid of the ads. It loads faster, browses websites faster, handles Java better than Netscape, is fully HTML 4.0 compliant and has really good support for CSS Level 1 and 2. It also has some really nice features you don't get in the other two.

Best Regards,
