okay, it might be good for remainig handful amiga sites without css
Sites aren't automatically unusable just because a browser doesn't support CSS. Anyone who's used IBrowse 2.4 knows that. Of course, it won't make sites look any better, but that's a different story.

it wasnt nitpicking. do you think this approach is practical? or at least practicable?
Until someone writes a really well designed and well optimized browser for 68k (way, way beyond IBrowse), it's the best we've got.

exactly.
Ugly isn't the same as unusable.

none will do that.
Indeed. Everyone in the Amiga community keeps yelling that we need this, we need that, but almost no one does anything (including myself :().

as you see even ibrowse autors struggle to implement any features needed to day.
That may have several reasons, and we'll probably never know.

Quote from: wawrzon;824261
the solution is to use existing open engines with an amiga gui or let it be. im fine with either.
Which will just lead to bad performance on 68k. We've already seen that.

if you find it usable
It's useful when I need it (which isn't often).

Quote from: wawrzon;824261
so that you dont need to use a browser on your pc instead
I love using my peecee ;)

Have you trie this?  http://cy2.uk/netsurfos3
Sadly not, because it's 3.5+.

Amiga.org renders about a 21 seconds.
If that's on a 68060, then IBrowse 2.4 is a lot faster. It renders amiga.org in 20 seconds on a 50mhz 68030 (and it's usable).
