@ AmiGR

I suppose it's a matter of opinion.  My G3 has IE 5.5 and Netscape (whatever the last compatible version was).  Very often images won't dispay, sites stop loading and insist that I upgrade the browser.  Both browsers seem to just give up at any provication.  Maybe I need to learn to setup this software better.

On the otherhand, those same sites usually load very well in iBrowse 2.4.  I probably don't frequent the most demanding sites (I use the net as an encyclopedia, not much for entertainment), but, except for those that rely heavily on the latest flash, I've never seen iBrowse just give up.  
I think Amigans are lucky to have the browsers we do have.

How does Mozilla compare to IE and Netscape?

WOW !!! QL compatible qith a 68060 !!!! This is really cool !


I thought so too.  Its not vapor, either.  These can still be bought.  I emailed them about six months ago, got a reply the next day.  IIRC a fully assembled Q80 was going for about 700 + shipping.  I think there is a pretty respectable web browser for those as well (still being updated).

iCab rocks!

A bit slow on my 68K and early PPC Powerbooks, but does the job admirably.

Definitely the C64 guys... I mean, the demoscene has been around as long as it has... And I can see why! The impossible game was a spectacular use of the SID chip... MAKING THE D@MN THING TALK! "Stay a while. Stay FOREVER!"

Oh, and that stuff that they did, what with the internet and the tape deck and the not so much people having tools for windoze xp is bad though... Man I need a nap.

I haven't tried iCab, but I will. Now that I have high speed, I will look at DLing this and other apps that were too big before.
