[Sca-cooks] a question for the geeks- OT-OOP

If at all possible, use a different browser. Over the last 25 years, as
personal computers were given more RAM, faster processors, and larger hard
drives, everything else started to grow...  Nature must abhor empty hard
drive space, extra RAM and unused processor cycles.  Regretfully, Microsoft
and Netscape are guilty of jumping on this bandwagon.

I personally have experienced nothing but problems once Netscape went beyond
5... Netscape takes forever to load, and has so many extra bells and
whistles that it's frustrating to try and get anything done with it.

Go with one of the "smaller", less known browsers if you can.  Opera,
Mozilla, there are a few others out there, just look around on sites like
TUCOWS, VersionTracker, etc. These less well known browsers don't seem to
have a problem with how they display HTML. (Ask any web developer about the
problems of designing sites so they would look the same in the "big 3"
browsers... AOL, Netscape, and IE.  Granted, for a while AOL's browser was a
watered down version of IE, but a lot of development time actually went into
web designers testing the sites out in all three just to make sure they
looked right.), plus you have the added effect that they're not memory and
resource hogs.   They're not designed to be the swiss army knife internet
application, their sole purpose is to display web content.

If  you're on a Mac, in addition to Mozilla, also look into iCab. It runs
under both Macintosh OSes. It's smaller and faster than IE or Netscape
