Mozilla has the Download Manager and Firebird uses the Sidebar for managing downloads. Quite useful, but to each their own.

Again, if you hate netscapishness, get k-meleon- only 4 megs no banner ads. It's missing some stuff like history w/o a seperate plugin though. Fast though, since it actually ran on my P-120 a year ago before I nuked windows 95 to make room for LFS. Then again, Phoenix(old Firebird) also ran, but barely.

Too bad it's windows only, and the linux equivalents (Galeon or Skipstone) are bloated. There's skipstone, but that seems too much like konqueror, and had a habit of stalling (on the P-120, haven't tried it here). Firebird and Mozilla (Seamonkey), Galeon, and Skipstone are the only gecko browsers for linux, and they all have performance issues.

I despise XUL interfaces- Linux Firebird soaks up 70-80% of CPU capacity on my PII-450 quite often.

BTW, I fail to see the point of the jazilla project... well, maybe. How powerful are the newer PDA processors? I've heard that AMD is making one to run Linux, and it clocks around 400mHz- don't know the instructions per clock- I suppose you could use Jazilla as a browser for java-enabled devices provided it isn't bloated, and it probably is...
