Netscape 6.. ohmygod...

Netscape 6 reaally is that bad. They want us to support it at work, and
it bugs out on me all the time. The ssl code in it is very buggy. Our
ssl site has a Java Servlet that returns dynamic PDFs - it works fine in
IE and Opera, but Netscape 6 bombs out. Not to mention how picky
Netscape is about the html tags - that will drive you to madness....

I've been using Mozilla alot...it is definitely better than Netscape. I
am just starting to try Opera for Linux...it seems pretty slick too.
