There are a lot of things you can do to make Netscape at least /look/
better. I'd advise that you check out a few of my favorite resources:
http://linux.com/tuneup/database.phtml/X11/Netscape/
http://skatters.com/configs/
If some severe tweakage still doesn't do the trick, you might want to
look at Konqueror (depends on KDE2 libraries), Galeon (requires
Mozilla), or Corel's Qt Mozilla project. Konqueror is almost a shoe-in,
except that it takes a lot of CPU cycles to build. Galeon is my
personal favorite, but it relies heavily on GTK+, and some people aren't
into that. QtMozilla is not an officially supported project, but the
general idea is to do exactly what Galeon did (Mozilla's Gecko HTML
engine), but replace the GTK+ portions with Qt2 portions. I wait with
baited breath.

http://galeon.sourceforge.net/
http://www.mozilla.org/
(Corel's project has no home page that I'm aware of.)

The fuss was over KDE more than it was over Qt, but that's all ancient
history now. Read some /. articles about it.
