Re: Stable GUI Web Browser

Maybe you should call Microsoft and see if they're porting Internet Explorer to Linux anytime soon!!!!!

Hi all,

Does anyone/everyone have problems with Netscape communicator?  I have had the
same problem with 4.06, 4.07, 4.08 and the latest beta of 4.5

After I have been browsing for a while it just suddenly crashes - no error
message (well in the beta I get a talkback thing to report the error - but it
tells me nothing).  

Alternatively it will suddenly goto 99.x processor utilization and freeze - at
this point I cannot even kill it. When I kill the task it is still running at
99.x processor according to top. Naturally as this is not windows my machine is
still perfectly usable.

So

Q1 is there a more stable GUI Browser than Netscape for linux. I need
javascript support but not java.

Q2 is there anything to make netscape less prone to crashing? I have stopped
using messager - would I be best moving to plain navigator instead of
communicator?

Thanks

Dave

PS I am pretty uptodate with Debian 2.0 - did an upgrade using apt last week.
But I have not upgraded by X 11 for a couple of months (it is one of the suse
servers as I have a Permedia video card).
