Any comments/suggestions on the best GUI web browser for FreeBSD?  I'm
using Mosaic (ver 2.4, I think) from the Walnut Creek site, and it's
good.  (Doesn't crash, everything seems to function.)

But I was wondering if there is anything better out there.  I know
that Netscape is supposed to do continual updates (background updates,
threaded updates, whatever) and was wondering if there is any FreeBSD
program out there which has this feature, since Netscape doesn't have
a FreeBSD version.

Does tkWWW (or whatever the Tcl/Tk web browser is called) have
threaded updating?
