They do have a quality product. I've been using their 5.02 version
for some time now as my browser of choice. They do have some issues,
some of them come up when trying to access the OpenSRS RWI with it as
a matter of fact :)
But mostly I find it works very well, including with most Netscape
plug-ins (such as the New.net plug-in).

Online advertising in general has been trashed.

Now that would be a cool deal if you could strike it up with them.
I'm sure if Mozilla was more stable, more people would be developing
commercial products based around it as well.
