Amaya and Amiga Browsers

Has anyone looked at porting Amya on www.w3.org to the Amiga yet.  Nearly all the latest standards are in there (or partly) XHTML, SVG, CSS.  I realise that it is extremely hard to keep up with the W3's recommendations even IE, Navigator and Opera can't but they do provide some help with Amaya.

This is my first post by the way after registering ages ago. Hope it works.

This is just me RichB again, yes my post did work only after turning my Firewall off which I don't like doing for too long on this peecee, being such a secure machine and all that.  My personal record is 6 trojan horses and whatever else installing themselves in 1/2 hr. Here goes again firewall off

I wonder if Amaya would get the VImgdecoder crashes too :-P

If you download and test Amaya on a PC, you'll see two central problems:

1) amaya is really meant to be a test platform, nothing more - so it's not really the fastest browser, nor is it that user-friendly (in my opinion anyway)

2) since so many sites tweak their code to favor IE, or build apps that ONLY work in IE, even mozilla can't keep up and opera has to likely change things all the time for this reason - amaya is even further behind as a result.  case in point - when I messed around with amaya a while back, I went to my usual haunts (CNET, ZDnet, etc.) and found that on most of them, it displayed stuff wrong or weirdly because the site was expecting IE or even netscape.

If amaya is to be used by anyone, it has to be kept current, and, SOME standards on websites have to be used, too - most don't bother, including likely mine. .  I had better luck with Amiga browsers.

I ported Amaya to OS X when XDarwin was first released.

Don't bother.

Amaya is a reference browser, not something that is actually usable.
