I have always went with Mozilla over the AOL releases of Netscape. I think
Mozilla is not a bad browser these days. Netscape is Mozilla a few releases
delayed with lots of things added. None of which I need. You can install
Mozilla as just the browser. The e-mail and news are optional. Red Hat's
RPMs (which I install on Caldera 3.1.1) even have them packages
individually. On Gentoo, I think the ebuild takes all of Mozilla. At least I
do not see how to limit it to http.

Don't forget Konqueror in KDE 3.1. It has made substantial progress. And it
is quite fast (to me).
