Is Netscape 6 worth the upgrade?

I tried Netscape 6 Prerelease 2 before, and I hated its guts. It was . . . too much. I like my browser a simple box with a couple handy bookmarks. That's it. Outside of the fact that my Netscape v4.75 causes occaisonal crashes with Kerner32.dll (which no one can help or do anything about it) it's fine. I even made my IE to look exactly like my Netscape settings. That sidebar Netscape 6 stuff and skins are just going to use up more resoursces on my poor system. 🙁

junior, you dont need to add all that extra crap such as keyboards, speakers, etc since most people won't really care. what we do want to see is the REAL specs, such as the cpu, mobo, ram, hard drive, video card, etc. but anyways, i always liked netscape 6 cus it would load pages really really quickly. unfortunately i haven't downloaded the newest beta.
 
BFG: IE is total SUCK!!! Takes forver to load pages, leaves you open for every virus under the sun thru OE and when it crashes, it forces you to reboot. At least when NS crashes (which is a lot), you can restart it.

NS 6 is suck too. They blew it.
 
on windows 2000 with SP1 installed...

IE is rock solid and has never crashed on me. meanwhile, both mozilla and netscape 6 (ugh) have knocked themselves out with bugs and instability issues.

I use IE5.5 with SP1 &amp; find it rock solid it fact it has not crash yet,as for loading pages well pretty quick &amp; I`m using a 56k modem.

I use IE 5.5, and it's OK. Not slow, not crash-prone. However I've been playing with Opera 5, and I like it (the free version) except for two things: firstly the various bars take up way too much real estate (I wonder is this better with the bought version?), and secondly, many sites optimized for IE render poorly (just as Bill intended). One really good thing is the very satisfactory buit-in download manager.

I won't likely ever download any version of NetScape again. It's not an IE alternative either functionally or politically. When it comes to megalomaniacs there's not much to choose between Bill Gates and Steve Case.
