I dunno, have you used the "free" (as in monetarily) version of Opera? It works well and I don't even notice the "ad" part of the "adware" myself. But maybe that's just me....

BTW, as much as I love Mozilla, I'm tired of it crashing on some gosh awful constructed-exclusively-for-IE web page and taking down a half hour's worth of "search research." I mainly use Moz, but I've only had Opera crash on me *once*. And when it came back up it took over right where it left off. Do I simply not know how to get Moz to do that, or does Moz just plain not do it?

Mozilla

Slightly off-topic, but anyway, you've obviously been very unlucky. I am using Mozilla 1.4 and it has virtually never crashed on me. I can't remember the last time. The only (few) sites I can't view are those that explicitly detect and block real browsers - one of my pet hates. FWIW, Marks & Spencer is the most idiotic offender: they allow Netscape 6.1+ but block Mozilla, evidently because they don't know it exists.

Anyway, Konqueror crashes lots on me, but Mozilla never does. Unfortunately, if it does crash, I don't think there's a pick-up where you left off feature....

I'm using galeon 1.2 which uses gecko to render pages. I think it crashed only 3 or 4 times as long as I used it. It has this pick-up-where-you-were function.
