mozilla being a pig

[Stuart Biggerstaff]

Opera, maybe?  It isn't open source, but they aren't charging for it any 
more, and it's fast.  And installing it won't interfere with Mozilla.

Then for real speed, there's OffByOne.  It's really fast in Windows, but 
running in Linux under Wine it still seems faster than about anything 
else.  Of course you give up Java (even Javascript) and frames--kind of 
like version two of Netscape or IE.  And it fits on a floppy, not that that 
matters.
