i use IE5 all the time at home on my imac. it doesnt crash on me other than the occasional freeze. and i mean "occasional" i have netscape and i rarely use it. i work on a pc at my job ( i guess that's why i hate work) and i use netscape on that one all the time. it looks and works bettter than IE5 on the pc...so go figure.............

I use iCab and have been doing so from the start. I rarely use Netscape or IE.

I do a lot of offline browsing and believe me iCab is a dream come true for users like me. It renders pretty fast, gives you almost complete control over what gets rendered and saves web archives like lightning. Open up your browser of choice, go to your page of choice and save it as a web page including graphics. Time all browers that you tried this with. iCab will beat them all. Now calculate the difference in the time it took to save the pages and start multiplying by the amount of pages you normally visit in a session.

Of course this info is relative to offline web surfers but iCab also has a lot to offer the regular surfer. Too much to list here. Download the latest version and give it a spin, if you hit a page that iCab handles badly it probably has more to do with bad design on the part of the Webmaster than with an iCab issue (JavaScript aside).
