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

I used to be a fan of AWeb and used it for around 90% of the browsing, but after installing AmigaOS 4 final I noticed that there is IBrowse 2.4 OEM version which is much more useful than a demoversion - it still have some restrictions but they are not annoying once you are used to them. Firstly I tried it only for curiousity how it'll work and to my surprise it performed very well and the best feature I saw was that it showed the sites with cyrillic text in they respective alphabet, so no more problems with êèðèëèöà sites, for which I needed to switch fonts in AWeb. The tabbed browsing and built-in search-bar are great features and it looks very good. The only thing I used AWeb since then is to take my hotlist from there and import it to IBrowse. And not a single crash after using it for some days already. 1 week before my vote would go for AWeb, but now it's definately IBrowse 2.4.

Does the IB 2.4 OEM have the "2 connections only" restriction?


Quoted from the about:

Limitations

This is the AmigaOS4 OEM version of IBrowse 2.4, which has limitations including the following:


Five browser windows or browser tabs
Eight simultaneous connections
Four search bar entries
HTTP, FTP and file loading only

Enough for my surfing needs.
P.S. The quote button works while posting now - never worked in any Amiga browser before, so I needed to "Copy and Paste".
