Smaller size on disk also means a faster load. I don't always have a
browser running... I don't like it when my browser needs half a minute to
come up.

Firebird (and other Mozilla-based browsers) is the best so far under Linux
for me. Opera comes close. Older Netscape version and other Linux browsers
have a lot more compatibility problems.
