Re: AWeb...IBrowse or Other! ...... Which is the best and why?

I never had much luck with IBrowse on my old Amiga 2000HD, so I used AWeb.  Also used AWeb on my MicroA1 until now.  The latest update for AmigaOS 4.0 contains an AmigaOS4 OEM version of IBrowse 2.4, which seems to run very well.  Haven't tried AWeb yet since I upgraded.

Comparison:
Using AmigaOS4 OEM version of IBrowse 2.4, I can add smileys to my posts by clicking on the little icons.  Can't do this with AWeb.

AmigaOS4 OEM version of IBrowse 2.4 and AWeb APL Lite both seem to pause for a long time while loading certain web pages.  On amig.org they pause while loading the page where you write up posts.  I think they may be getting bogged down by all those little message icons and smileys, which are infact gifs files.  IBrowse seems to pause a little longer, maybe due to some restrictions placed on the OEM version.

As to which is better, I haven't decided yet...
