We need an iBrowse replacement for 68k!!!

Interesting thread, but to put it simply, "A 5 ounce sparrow cannot carry a 1 pound coconut."

Simpler, tighter and optimized code in the form of a quicker browser cannot handle the modern web page when the processor that runs it was designed over 20 years ago.  Heck, ever thought of what a modern X86 processor would do with code that wasn't bloated with waste?  Oops, the ghost of Linux past pops in the room.

Wawrzon,

You can't run a "modern browser" on vintage hardware. If you can, show me an example.

config: aros68k, a4k, 060/50, cv64, x-surf.

Nice monitor.

Does it make a difference that OS4.1 runs on a PPC CPU?

Or are we expecting a 5 ounce sparrow to carry a 1 pound coconut?

The question I asked in a serpentine manor was, "Does a 680X0 CPU have enough processing power to handle the demands of Netsurf?"

It might be like running Timberwolf on a Classic Amiga with a 604e PPC (it too crashes).

I gave up coding for Lent in 1987 to concentrate on what I was being paid for ;(

Looks good!  Who is that imposter George Jones?  :lol:

And who color tinted his photo?
