Lazy port. Eg. the toolbar imagery should be using AISS or similar. It doesn't really look like an Amiga app at all.


Firefox doesn't really look like a native app on any OS. And with good reason. You are aware that firefox uses it's own user interface library code on each supported platform and as such has it's own OS independent look-and-feel, right?

So how do you think the browsing experience of Timberwolf compares to OWB on MorphOS?

I realise that was aimed at someone else, but I can tell you right now that OWB on OS4.1 is faster and less buggy. Of course, I wouldn't expect anything less; OWB isn't an early alpha release and Timberwolf is.

yes I know it's OS4 we're talking about here, but even I will acede that it is Amiga-like


That's quite possibly the least negative thing you've ever said about OS4. Sir, I believe you are going soft in your old age :lol:

..a bit off topic, but does anyone know if it's possible to buy OS4.1 for AmigaOne anymore?  All I see on Amigakit is OS4.1 for SAM.  They aren't the same, are they?


There'll be differences in the supplied drivers and some under the HAL stuff too I expect.

I bought my copy of OS4.1 for A1XE from amigakit must be, what, 10 months ago now?
