In the end, do you think there is no solution for 68k users regarding semi-modern web browsing? I mean no half decent browser port can be made? Or is it that it just requires too much effort from a devs point of view to tweak and modify code to make it usable?

The problem is, end users are completely underestimating the complexity involved in implementing a "modern" browser. The standards set by the W3C for conformity do not, even in the most token sense imaginable, consider the computational and memory requirements of implementing their specification.

I'm not saying it would be impossible to write a browser for 68K that is both compliant and usable on a real 68K machine, however, it is something that would have to be written ground up with the limitations of the hardware in mind. No small task, even for a team of highly committed developers.

What a about AWeb?? I woun't use it, ibrowse is far better, but none of them doesn't have css supoort wich is essential now a days.

Netsurf shows quite lot web pages right, like amiga.org, amigaworld.net ie.. aweb/ibrowse doesn't


Try http://aoproxy.extropia.co.uk/ in AWeb/IBrowse ;)
