Just curious, I have a G3/266/160MB/4GB here and right now I'm using Mozilla 1.3 Alpha. I would really like to see something like a Phoenix port to OS 9 but until then, is there anything else that bests 1.3?

I have a beige G3 266MHz (overclocked 233) as well, and I find Netscape 7 to be really fast on my computer. The only exception is trying to type when there's animated gifs gonig off. For whatever reason it really slows down.

You should also try iCab which is nice and zippy. Only problem is that it doesn't support CSS completely so no all webpages show up correctly.
