My suggestion: dump Netscape and upgrade your KDE-2.0.1 from the SuSE-7.1 disrto to KDE-2.1.2 from the SuSE ftp site. Konqueror from 2.1.2 is all you'll need for 95% of your browsing needs.
I've got to disagree vigorously with that one. I'm often finding sites that Netscape will handle correctly (ugly though Netscape may be) and Konqeror won't. If the 5% of sites that don't work with Konqueror include ones that you want, then Konqueror just doesn't hack it. A Linux purist might say "if Konq can't handle the site, I won't go there", but for most ordinary mortals that's not a very productive attitude.
My pragmatic compromise: install both, use Konq where it works and Netscape where it doesn't.
As you wish! I suppose it depends where you go. I always have Javascript turned off, reject all cookies unless absolutely essential, and probably only go to information based sites anyway (as opposed to entertainment based sites which use flashy tricks which stretch the browser). I can't remember the last time I went to site which Konqueror couldn't handle.
There'[s a third, very big category of sites: service sites like banks and online vendors of all kinds. Those are the ones that often give me trouble. Paul
