On: Apple Macintosh before System 7

Netscape was always crashy on classic MacOS. Most other app software, and even games, were relatively stable.

Netscape 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.

Yeah, 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.

Flash plugin was another frequent crasher, I remember most of my browser problems being Flash and not the browser itself
