yeah. the current 68k owb isnt good for nuthin. it has no gui (one could make a limited one since it has rudimentary arexx interface) but it wold miss a lot of comands one would expect from a browser. except of that its dead slow, and doesnt show most of pages really correctly, since it is only a quick and dirty one.

i have looked at the sources of netsurf and it seems that it wouldnt be that hard to adopt it to os3.x. os4 is already worked on and official target. but im not a coder and even if i have set up 68k compilers on my miggy and pc it will probably be beyond my skills forever.

it crawls on a 060, if this is enough!

which is the least to say. but somehow owb68 behaves quite strange. sometimes it seems to wait for something while there is no 100% cpu load, on other ocassions just like at the moment (i just threw it on to recall) it seems to occupy 100% of the cpu constantly after the page has been rendered down to the very last detail. strangely the system is responsive though. world of wonders..

@save:
you might just as well ignore this thread. calm down. none will come to your house and take your beloved outdated web browser away if an alternative would appear. from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs, if i dare to quote.

to clarify, i dont stress on flash or java although it would be nice to have such options. just something to render regular hps in proper layout and fill forms online. owb is able to do it on os4 while it doesnt support java or flash. for me it is reasonable minimum. and since ibrowse is fast enough on my 060 a4k i dont think css capable browser is impossible for 68k.

@number6: ah, ok.
