I don't think so. If you have plenty of memory Netscape 4.7 have been
fairly stable. Java makes it crash, and the are other small oddities,
but I have been happy with it.

I tried both. I have never been able to see much difference.

I do not want to change browser based on sites I go to (unless I have
to).

At least Java has to be disabled to avoid frequent freeze-ups.

Well, I work for a company putting out a Linux browser soon: Opera
Software. The only problem is that we won't give it away. Personally I
am used to pay for good software on my previous platform, Windows, so
for me to pay for something I use as frequent as a web browser, or even
a good e-mail client, won't be considered a problem.
