Mozilla on AOS4

[DaveP]

Ive been using Mozilla for about 6 months on Linux
on a similarly specced machine as the A1 ( this time
a laptop ) and it flies.

Maybe something is wrong with your distributions
configuration?

[DaveP]

Yeah, why wait when they can use AROS or
AmigaForever running GCC or something. ;-)

If they *must* I suppose they could use the Pegasos boards to run something they might like - Linux - and use gcc on that to compile for AOS4 or even run
UAE on that.... ;-)

Why do you ask?

I have talked about this before online but I don't recall
precisely where. I never got on with MUI as a developer it had its 30 minutes of fame. Im sure if someone had contracted me to do a proper development project on MUI I would have forced myself and probably would have ended up really liking it but that never happenned.

I never said it was faster than any other browser but they are now all so close to each other ( Moz/Opera/Konqueror/IE ) that there is little to choose.

Lets put it this way, when I use konqueror it is one
of the fastest but one of the buggiest ( your Support The Troops animations completly #### its I/O thread up ).

When I use Mozilla I am confident that there are few sites if any that will not work.

When I use AWEB I think ... f**k this is slow.

[DaveP]

I had spare cash. Fortunately before I got a rush of blood
to the head I went and bought a house with it.

My favourite hobby is not using Opera thats for sure. Not
my favourite UI. The last Opera I used I really had to correct
myself everytime I went for one of the navigation buttons ( back/forward ) and more often than not ended up closing a window because I did not stop myself in time.

That and the freakin' adverts in the top right window sucking up my precious bandwidth.

Why dont you set up a paypal account and everyone who wants to donate can donate. Then if they come up with the
50k+ required to hire even a vaguely competant programmer
for a year then hire someone to do the port. ;-)

[DaveP]

The amount of overall work required won't change
Im afraid just the amount of engine code that sits
on the abstraction layer will be reduced and become
easier to maintain.
