not even Task Manager, to kill it. Reboot. And this with f/wall, filters, no j-script, etc. yada yada. First clear-cut .9.8 Achilles heel - wonder what noxiou-M$ spawn resides there.. Anyone else see weirdness? (The page began to load, so Ariana's name and some sentences appeared before lock-up.)
Gotta try 4.5 now ;-) I'll get back with this riveting tale of adventure in the *New* Dismal Science: vying with Econ. for, #1 in turgidity.
Hah!! NS 4.5 loads it just fine. So much for the cognoscenti's appellation of 4.5 as "a POS". Something glass-fragile in .9.8? SO ugly it needs a &^$#$% reboot, on two occasions?
Sheesh, maybe time to trot out NS 3.05 - smaller yet, seemed quite stable for *years* - even if it hasn't a prayer of playing with the new gyrating otters and translucent skins on radio buttons and... what a crock webpages are becoming. ('Cept zIWE natch.)
{sigh} Can't anybody make a fucking browser that doesn't eat itself?
