I thought IBrowse 2.3 was our saviour since Yahoo is now disabled for
the rest of the browsers reading the Yahoo Mail!

I find lately, possibly the last year, that eBay and even Amiga.org
are really slow on my '060 running Voyager 2.96.7.

I have images turned on but I seem to think the code is becoming more
bloated with all the fancy codes and "Microsoft made this" etc. stuff.

I think a lot of it could be image decoding trouble. Sometimes these
browsers use external GIF datatypes and I know that when a GIF picture
decodes on Voyager and it's big then I better start praying.

Some sites also start a flickering red access light as though a MIDI
song is trying to stream or something.

Amiga browsers really aren't keeping up with things, and the web
creators are partly to blame too.

Look at the BBC website, does that EVER exclude you from doing
anything, or slowing you down? Okay so it has RealAudio features but
everything you could possibly want to do and go to is good on the most
basic of computer.

The internet is for everyone, WAP phones and PDAs... so people with
lower specs should always shout out against bloated websites.

:-(

Well I just installed IBrowse 2.3 today and it hasn't crashed at all, it's really wonderful.

I use Voyager 2.96.7 mainly as it's pretty stable and configurable but IBrowse 2.3 wins the day because of it's solid and unbloated feel.

eBay and Amiga.org still seem slower than sites like Aminet and BBC because I suppose the systems are much more complex when dealing with content management, but today I got my avatar up with IBrowse and I don't get trouble any longer with `;amp' appearing in URLs.

JavaScript seems better on IBrowse than on Voyager 3.3 and I trust IBrowse more as it doesn't log how long I've been using it, doesn't delay me on bootup with 2 minute `trial period', doesn't `flash modem lights' when exiting...

;-)

I'd prefer if IBrowse 2.3 gave me more control over spoofing as Mozilla/IE and integrated SSL but it seems great.

A cookie manager like Voyager 3.3 would be nice too.

Hey, do you have different speeds if you use RAM: as a disk cache or is it best to disable disk cache?

Oh great, IBrowse 2.3 doesn't want to access the Amiga.org message URLs...
