I've always had strange problems with Navigator & Communicator for Linux, but I can't say that glibc2.1 has made it any worse for me. It works just as poorly as it always has. It hangs a lot, crashes too often, etc.
I wouldn't have much hope for a stable, full-featured browser until Mozilla appears. Who knows -- maybe Opera will be here first. Opera is certainly a great browser on the Windows platform, as long as you don't mind paying for it. KDE has a decent free browser that seems a lot more stable than Netscape, but without some of the "perks" -- Java/Javascript, etc. I use Lynx/SSL for most of my browsing. The speed grabs me.
