Apparently, you haven't tried KDE 2.0's browser "konqueror" yet -
Javascript support (not sure whether that's a good thing...), Netscape
plugin support, Java support (haven't tried it yet, though), basically
all you need. It can even import your Netscape bookmarks. At the moment
I'm using it on Solaris 2.6/Sparc instead of Netscape (but without
running KDE), and so far it seems stable and is reasonably fast. There
are definitely a few bugs left, but after what I'm used to from
Netscape, there seems to be hope yet. In addition, it has a few nice
features Netscape *doesn't* have, like domain specific cookie settings
or domain specific Java/Javascript settings.

Can't quite confirm that. The only pages I ever got stuck on with
Netscape were those that either explicitly asked for IE (fortunately
only a few - and those that do usually don't have any content worthwhile
watching anyway) or those requiring a plugin not available for
Netscape/Solaris or Netscape/Linux (haven't seen too many of those,
either). ".asp" as such usually doesn't cause a problem - what it does
cause is a flood of cookies (blessed be Junkbuster...)...
