I have always went with Mozilla over the AOL releases of Netscape. I think Mozilla is not a bad browser these days. Netscape is Mozilla a few releases delayed with lots of things added. None of which I need. You can install Mozilla as just the browser. The e-mail and news are optional. Red Hat's RPMs (which I install on Caldera 3.1.1) even have them packages individually. On Gentoo, I think the ebuild takes all of Mozilla. At least I do not see how to limit it to http.
Don't forget Konqueror in KDE 3.1. It has made substantial progress. And it is quite fast (to me).
