I am running Mac OS 9 with Netscape 7. I find it to be an excellent
product. As far as all the extra products it is possible to do a
custom setup of Netscape. You can specify that you only want the
browser installed. I have never had a problem with installing it that
way. One thing I find is that it is helpful to have a variety of
browsers to be able to test web sites and track down problems.
