Which browser would be the fastest on the 366 iBook I sometimes use?

I am using Firefox (v1.5.0.11) on my FrankenSmurf and it works quite well. Safari seemed slower to me. Of course YMMV. Good Luck! Dave

I put Camino on my Clamshell. Works great.

I like Opera on older Macs, seems the fastest at page rendering to me.

I agree Opera is great on older systems. Used it on everything from an old G3 upgraded Power Mac 7600 (running 10.3.9) and an old Celeron box running Ubuntu Linux. Fast, stable, and feature rich. Generally anyway.

Whatever you do, whoever you are, do NOT try to use "Internet Exploder". The Os9 version was deliberately (IMHO) written to cause OS problems for macs. A nice bit of Micro$oft FUD sabotage.

great links, but this download link is for 1.5.0.11, rather than 1.5.0.6
