Noticed it on AmiNet tonight, released to no fanfare, and tried it out.  It is unusably slow on my 4000D/060/50/PIV.  Think Windows Vista on 256MB slow.  But, I suspect that is the penalty for trying to run modern on legacy.  Eh, IBrowse works well enough for my purposes.

Its slower than iBrowse but they are not doing the same thing and its still being actively developed so it'll hopefully get quicker with each new version. Its faster than 1.6 though.


Understood, and I do not mean to denigrate NetSurf's development.  I certainly would like to see a more modern browser on Classic, just this release is unusable to me.  The last version was as well, but I try every release :)
