I agree. Mozilla is in the process of being a Good Thing, but I also think 
it's big and oafly. Procton mentioned that he was in process of porting the 
AthOS port of Konqueror, ABrowse, to BeOS. If we want a native browser, 
NetOptimist seems to be a reasonable thought, but if we want a browser 
quickly, perhaps finishing the port wouldn't be a bad idea.

It's still floating around, but it was buggy and crashed a fair bit. I wasn't 
impressed.
