Ibrowse2.3

Hey, Java is needed for most dating chats!

oh...nevermind

Anyway, my primary pc browser is opera and opera (my opera) never works with java or javascript, but then again, I never need it (barely never). The only thing I need fx Internet explorer for is my stupid bank.

I do however agree with the people saying we need a browser capable of all that (whether it be the browser team's responsibility or whoevers) to lure new users to the platform, which I think in some way is very needed.

If Ibrowse 2.3 works well with 'normal' sites, is stable and fast it will be a pleasure to use for me. However, 'just' targeting the current amiga users is a dead end (I think). What we want and need is not a lot more important than what the masses want and think they need.

Personally I love the fact that an amiga owner is usually a clever person with much different ideas about a computer and well-written software than pc users, but I think we need those pc users to raise money for future development. I do not know anything about AI's financial position, but I would think they could use the money.

Rambling on right from the break of dawn,

Sincerely,

Well. I have a free connection and always download opera+java, but it has never worked with any version. I think javascript is just screwed (I know it is not related to the jre shipped with opera), while most java things seem to check for internet explorer, and kindly tell me that I am unable to use it.

My point was just that java is not really needed by _me_ (not just because I never get it working ,

As for the person saying he will wait for a decent browser that works with his bank...good luck. If your bank has a set of programmers alike in skill to the ones of the danish banks you will have to wait a long, long time. These are just horrible. The one I use (the best with fewest charges for every stupid thing you might be doing) requires a specific path for a keyfile, for example. And guess what: it's "c:\danskebank\somemore", rendering it unusable on my ibook, unless I use Virtual PC.

I could use a Virtual PC for AOS4.
