If you are running Linux/i86, Solaris 7, Solaris 8, or
AIX 4.3.3, then you can grab fast, clean reliable Mozilla
Firebird (a browser only, not a whole application suite) from
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/firebird/release-notes.html .

I also recommend it for Windows users.  The Mac OS X build
is known to be buggy, and Camino (formerly Chimera) 0.7 at
ftp://mozilla.org/pub/camino/releases/Camino-0.7.dmg.gz probably makes
more sense.  I don't know anything about the OS/2 or BeOS builds.

Mozilla Firebird is in the form of a tar.gz or zip file.  There is no
installation: you unpack the whole thing into a convenient directory
(C:\Program Files makes sense in Windows, or /usr/local on *ix) and
just run the executable.

Or Chartreuse, the liqueur after which the color was named?
