Despite my best efforts I've found myself using IE (5.1.7 under OS 8.6) again because it's dull but reliable. For a long time I battled on with both iCab and Opera (which is great - and looks to have inspired many of Safari's features) but regular problems with both led me back to M$ (I too found Navigator perplexingly slow). The main problem I had with iCab and Opera was accessing secure sites (mainly for online banking) where they would frequently behave erratically.
