Personally, I think that classilla is possibly the best thing ever released for OS 9, now let me explain:
In 2003, when I started using a Mac full time (A Performa 6360, details on the machine at the end), I had to deal with using AOL versions 3.0 and 4.0 to get online.
It was around this time that websites would not load correctly in both versions, and even using Netscape 4 would produce broken sites. It was at this point that I upgraded the machine around early 2004 to OS 9 and tried out MSIE 5.1.7, that was a bit better until more and more sites started switching to higher end flash, and more intensive javascript.
The broken sites continued and it was at that point that I stopped using the internet on my mac, until just last year, when I tried out Classilla 9.1 on my newly ordered PowerBook Wallstreet rev.2, I was blown away just by seeing the google search page actually render correctly and as it would on a modern machine, I started testing more and more sites, and was amazed by how well it could handle a lot of modern sites with little to no errors at all.
I would have loved to have tested Classilla on my Performa 6360, but it sadly died a few months back from a logic board failure.
Although I've said it before, Thank you Cameron, and everyone else involved in testing/translating classilla.
