Nope, never used Netscape >=6. Mozilla is always a couple months ahead, and there's no AOLware installed. Netscape's current 7 is based on Mozilla 1.0.2, IIRC. Mozilla is currently at 1.2.1, with 1.3 coming in the not too distant future. FWIW, I'd say Mozilla 1.2.x is much faster than 1.0.x. Take a look at Phoenix. It's a browser only project based on gecko/mozilla. Much lighter weight than Mozilla proper, but that stands to reason... they've taken out a mail/news client, an HTML composer and a Chat client.
