Mozilla on AOS4
« on: April 25, 2003, 03:36:02 AM »
I've been using Mozilla on the A1XE for a week now and
all I can say is: It's dead slow! It's eating huge amounts
of memory. Do we really want this as our main browser
for our new Amigas? I definetly don't!  

Well, I know it has great support for everything thats out
there and thats nice but I would much rather see a
continued development of the current Amiga browsers.
Fact is when it comes to speed Mozilla is crap compared
to IBrowse or Voyager and I'm afraid I can't blame Linux
(since everything but Mozilla is really responsive).

oh, I'm using 1.0.0, the one that comes with Debian,
I guess I should try upgrading.. I'll do that now as a
matter of fact  :-D

BUT again,

I do think that our slow 68k miggys have put healthy
pressure on the developers and I think it would be a
shame if we would drop great, heavilly optimised software
like IB and Voyager in favor of Mozilla etc. OK, I'm not
using the latest Mozilla but this machine (A1XE) is a
rocket compared to my A3k and still it certainly doesn't
feel like one, and I think it should even if Mozilla would
be a shell-script (and maybe it is .   :-D )....
