I would second that go for Netscape7 if you want netscape but I would go
for either mozilla or pheonix/firebird  (
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/phoenix/  The future of mozilla browser
and a lot faster and smaller)
I use epiphany ( http://epiphany.mozdev.org/ again based on mozilla
rendering engine geko but with gnome2 interface.) by they way works fine
for me and blends in with the rest of gnome.
