Probably some Chinese manufacturer will start producing Mac clones at some stage in the future, that will be compatible with MorphOS.

Probably at some point China will be forced to abide by copyright :lol:

I agree. At least I'd like to think we're doing a professional job by not releasing alpha stage OS to paying customers.

Nice :D  that seems reasonable!

You're right about that. I really should change the name, and i even know which one i'll use. I've just been too lazy to change it.



For a start, OWB MorphOS comes with several builtin features that firefox only has as extensions or not at all (to my knowledge):
- webinspector (firebug extension on firefox)
- ad/content blocker (adblockplus or whatever on firefox)
- userscript support (greasemonkey on firefox)
- on demand or automatic session loading/saving (sessionplus or so on firefox?)
- per-url settings (spoofing, images, plugins, ...) like ibrowse
- network activity monitoring
- per-tab private browsing
and a couple others like that...

And about automation, userscripts allow to do quite a lot in that regard. And the REXX support would as well for other aspects (i doubt timberwolf has any kind of REXX port, by the way (not that it would be hard to add)).



On the other hand, you don't always have to enforce the latest OS version for nothing (and avoid being as annoying as OSX in that regard). Latest OWB MorphOS version still runs on MorphOS 1.4 (including classic, even if memory and cpu requirements don't really make it really useful on such hw) with some features disabled.


Sorry if its off-topic, but does OWB MorphOS have a user-agent switcher?  some websites I use often complain and disallow access unless you are using a "correct" browser.

Are you talking about spoofing as another browser? Of course, Fab's browser can do that, with different settings for different URL's even!

(From above: "- per-url settings (spoofing, images, plugins, ...) like ibrowse")

D'oh!  well then, now I know :D

And yes, spoofing, although I usually connotate "spoofing" as a negative act, whereas me trying to access my bank and being told by their POS website "We only support IE" makes me hot under the collar.
