Posting this from my amiga

It works, is reasonably fast, but obviously doesn't do CSS.  Did someone have a proxy configured to do some magic here?

IBrowse is good in this way as it lets you set different settings for individual websites. You don't need Javascript enabled to browse Amiga.org through Karlos' proxy, for example.

I'd recommend against disabling it for the proxy site as it's required for the cycle gadget based popup menu replacements to work.

I don't have a FPU for it yet so IBrowse needs to use the CPU for everything and Javascript just makes everything much slower.

Does IBrowse actually make any use of FPU? I can envisage a javascript implementation using it as and when it uses floating point but that's not common other than for CSS related work (eg manipulating things like opacity which is specified as 0.0 - 1.0)

There is a 020+ and a 020+FPU version of IBrowse, and I used to use the FPU version with my 8MB RAM card with FPU. I'm not sure exactly what it's used for, perhaps the image remapping or dithering. In any case, I could definitely tell the difference in speed when using the FPU version instead of the plain 020 version on my 8MB Amiga. I could multitask better, less slowdown.

Interesting. Actually, on reflection, I guess some of the layout calculations could use it, though I had imagined they'd use fixed point.
