Is that the version of Netscape that crashed Windows 95 during Steve
Jobs' Webmania demo, apparently because he ignored some sort of Netscape
alert panel? Pretty serious penalty for ignoring an alert panel
:-) OmniWeb has never crashed NEXTSTEP since I've been using it.
I'm not a proponent of either browser, but you might note that the "b"
up there means "beta"... Believe it or not, beta software has bugs in
it...
And, don't blame all Win95 crashes on the software running under
Win95. ;-)
