What are the advantages to using Netscape over Explorer? I like explorer for the configurability of the tool-bars and especially the "hide" feature. I love how it leaves you the total screen when the windows task bar is on "auto hide". ie bookmarks (favorites) are finally very easy to use, too.

I used to prefer Netscape because you didn't have to type www. and .com for addresses, but now Explorer has leap-frogged that. Netscape 3.x also seemed faster than ie3.x, but Netscape 4.x lost the speed and ie4.x is as fast as any.

The only reason I use Netscape anymore is because it saves certain pages as a cgi file which ie doesn't seem to have an equivalent for.
Also, today my ie is broken, so I'm doing this on Netscape. But, this is the first time it's happened and considering the things I do to my computer it probably has a right...
