I continue using IBrowse as my main WWW app. To my understanding so does many others. (MOS and AOS4 users)

Is there any hope for new PPC native build of IBrowse?


(on pages that IB does not work, I try netsurf, then OWB, then Timber. Speed matters on my 667Mhz system.)

Why would anyone mess with an outdated web browser


It works on every Amiga site I visit. It's fast and efficient. And it's familiar.
And sometimes it's nice to have another browser while the otherone slows down with some scripts...

(for some reason MUIOWB does not start any more ... I'll wait for the next update, RA-OWB is pretty limited and little slower (far better in web compatibility than IB, though), netsurf is not much better than IB to my eyes, TW is too slow to be fun to use on my HW, I use it only on mandatory thing(s) where others fail, etc.)

My MOSMINI is not in active use yet. But for some reason some MOSMINI users use IB. Perhaps similar reasons that I have?

one more thing: For some reason, on AOS4 I get fastest download speeds with IB.
