Dismissing Amiga browsers as crap out of hand is somewhat unfair. The likes of Internet Explorer and Netscape have been developed for many years by a dedicated team of programmers who got paid enough to make a living.

Amiga browsers have been developed by small teams of people who earn enough to buy a pint of beer every now and then.

My favourite browser on earth is IBrowse. Its user interface is fantastic. I therefore don't consider it "crap", it is just a shame that the people who write it have not had the time to implement XHTML, DHTML, and CSS, which would, imho, make it by far the nicest browser out there.

Outdated, yes. Crap, no.

(Ahem)Excause me for stating the truth. Amiga Browsers either need to be re-written and have a better browser ready for OS4. They, are trutherly rubbish! Bloddy awful!

Oh right. Well, why don't you bloody write one then instead of belittling the efforts of others? hmm? i'm sure you'll have a browser up and running that can work perfectly with 4 different HTML versions, 3 different CSS versions, XHTML, various different versions of javascript and not to mention Netscape and IE custom tags? Because thats piss easy, isn't it?

Amiga browsers are out of date, yes. I wasn't saying that they don't need a hell of a lot of work to bring them into the 21st century, but having used IE, Opera and Mozilla, I can honestly say that I want Operas layout engine with IBrowses GUI. It is second to none.

So much so that I use IBrowse for most sites, and IE only when something doesn't work (which, before you say it, is not most of the time. In fact, I almost never have to resort to IE).

Anyway, i guess we'll just have to agree to disagree.
