You forgot IB2's issue with frame widths. :)
IB2 has some things I like, multiple browsers in one window, the option of
using datatypes for image decoding, copying text from the display, using the
cursor keys to move around a page. All things that V3 doesn't let me do, at
least here in 3.3.95.
Ibrowse2 doesn't crash much here, and its in use as my main browser.

There's something better than a testsuite, its called real world usage.. and
guess what? I prefer ibrowse over voyager for the reasons I listed above. V3 is
a pretty nice browser, but it's really missing those few features I want.

How can he fix it if it doesn't suck?
Carpe Diem,
