Is anyone using pr3 of this nifty new browser from netscape, it seems fast enough and slick enough to replace IE for me, how about you?

i downloaded version 3 tonight after being disappointed with the older releases, and i must say so far it has impressed me with its quickness, and i love the look of it.

Maybe i spoke too soon, just encountered my first illegal operation in a long time :(

and there isn't any place to change my cache settings(which btw, caused netscapes instability from the beginning)setting both disk and memory cache to 0 eliminates the crashes, i hope they bring back the settings in a later release

I tried it when it first came out and it sucked so horribly I've been sticking with IE and Netscape 4.7.

So the later versions of 6 actually work worth a damn?

You can still change the cache settings in edit-preferences then advanced-cache

Are you sure you have preview release 3, or maybe you did not install the same options as me because the options I have are:
cookies
images
forms
passwords
cache
proxies
software installation
mouse wheel
desktop integration
