If OWB is faster, then wy netsurf is a google summer of Code projecrt since 2 years and there is no OWB Version in a Linux distri ?.the big disadvantage of netsurf is currently missung java script but its in Linux Distri.

netsurf is in Linux distri.Wy not OWB ?


Because OWB is a Sand-Labs project initially dedicated only to CE device and it was/is builded around WebKit, you didn't found it on Linux yet just because they are use a more complete core or complete browser around the same WebKit core

Having said that you can't compare it with NetSurf that it is actually a "spare time" project maded by a little and passionate community, mostly RiscOS developers ...

As Fab say actually OWB on OS4/MOS are MUCH faster than any NetSurf release and it is constantly updated.

What I like to see (maybe one day) is a MUI version that can cover all the Amiga like systems, expecially for AmigaOS 3.x, that because when OS4 Reaction class are constantly updated, 68k class not :-)

P.S.
I'm a NetSurf 3.x betatester on OS4 so I know very well what I say ;-)

Pardon but how you can't make a speed comparision in a YouTube video ??

I tried also NetSurf on 68k but I can't say if speed are really better than the OS4 release as I play with it on an old x86 PC in emulation via WinUAE, but aniway in one thing i'm sure 100%, OWB under OS4 is perfectly for navigation and there aren't any issue on this way

Maybe we can speak about UI problems or other issue but not about time rendering

Latest OWB's rendering on my Flex 800 is faster than Firefox 3.0 on an high-end PCs, but you are free to believe anythings ;-)
