For all who have not visited the mozilla thread on ann.lu, please do. A question has raised whether to port Mozilla, or maybe redirect the funds to IBrowse development. Maybe start the discussion here aswel, as off topic as it may be.

iBrowse? Yer, good project, but in no way should it take those funds from a project that could set future development of AmigaOS. I mean, when you port Mozilla, your getting not just an app, but an Environment in which to run Mozilla applications.

Soon, Mozilla will only be an environment, and you'll have with your mozilla package, a standalone browser, mailclient and maybe a few other things.

Porting Mozilla will make it so much easier to port applications written for mozilla.

That is as i see it, more important than anything else!!!!

(firebird will soon become the default browser of the mozilla package)


Before a complete and working Mozilla is ported, I have spent two years in retirement home  :-)

With IBrowse, the timeline is much much faster. Also many people actually don't like Mozilla.. me included. But what the heck, it's the same for me. If there will be a Mozilla port for MOS, I gladly donate money. If there will be a major update for IBrowse, I gladly donate money.

Mozilla would be way too slow even on the fastest 060 on planet. I doubt it will run on decent speeds even on classic ppc's due to context switching.
