People always saying about a need of new browser. Chris is porting his OS4 Netsurf to OS3.5/9 and he has got almost zero help from community.

Simple tests like "is you amiga dispalying these images correctly" remains unanswered.

It is beta state, but it requires just 32mb ram to be useable. With Amiga friendly sites like amigaworld.net is not that fast than ibrowse, but more complez sites like this is it almost as fast. Amiga.org loads and displays right about 20 seconds now.

With AGA "cache native versions" from settings, makes page scrolling faster than with old Zorro II/III cards. AGA has serous color problems anyway.

First Lizard, thanks for the link.  My accelerator board only Carries 32 megs,so it won't run Netsurf.
Which I'm sure is the case for a lot of users. So kudos to the gent who ported it to OS3...

Netsurf works nicely and is useable with 32mb ram. I have tested it my 040/060 machines.

Arthur's fork requires more ram and there is separate versions for aga and rtg.

Chris' semi official port uses amiga standard libraries intuition etc. so it is useable more low specced systems and there is only one version for all systems.

Sorry, but I noticed that your 0/40 machine is listed as 34 mgs of fast ram, add 2 mgs chip ram and that's 36.
That said where can I download Chris's version to run on my 32 mg system?
Thanks

32mb fast ram + 2mb chip ram makes 34mb ram total.

Dandy's link has a experimental build targeted to 68000 cpu, to solve / debug some possible problems with 68060 cpu. I haven't tested it, so I can't say how well it performs.
