I don't remember Glider crashing at all but running anything really big and complicated like Netscape it was only a matter of time.

- KerrAvon 2y agoNetscape was always crashy on classic MacOS. Most other app software, and even games, were relatively stable.
- nostrademons 2y agoNetscape was crashy everywhere. I finally switched to IE in ~2000 despite being a die-hard Microsoft hater, because DoubleClick shipped some code that would hang Netscape and as a result the whole Internet broke.
- hedgehog 2y agoYeah, the main issue was the lack of memory protection on Mac so the crashes could take down the whole machine. I switched to NT4 though that had drawbacks of its own.
- wlesieutre 2y agoFlash plugin was another frequent crasher, I remember most of my browser problems being Flash and not the browser itself
