Then I advise you to forget CSS and modern browsing standards and stick with ugly IBrowse, because at least IBrowse will work at decent speed on 68k. Any decent modern CSS/HTML4 engine will be too slow on any real 68k, even if the coder optimises the hell out of it. And they wouldn't want to do that, it would make it too hard to maintain.

Check out Paihia which is also in development.  The announcement is at:

A 1996 standard...

Didn't someone say, some time ago, that they had ported Netscape to Amiga 68K. I remember this form the early Amizilla discussions here.
Any way, What counts is active projects, progess reports, and releases(alpha, beta, full). I'm looking forward to see what the various efforts produce.
If anyone have any news on these efforts, please encourage them to submit their news items.

Sorry but ''ugly'' IBrowse is very fast here
Absolutely no problems with speed or anything, I just miss css suppert, that's all
And a PPC is not an Amiga if you ask me

Opera was meant to be releasing an Amiga version in late 1998, but sadly they realised the state the Amiga was in and abandoned ship..

Before any of that fancy stuff can someone sort out Yahoo Mail!? For
the last few weeks amiga users haven't been able to delete or send
mail etc.

No response from the browser coding community!

I just want to add, once I heard you can run the freeware Internet
Explorer 3 or Netscape 3 on Shapeshifter if you have 32mb of RAM. And
it's very nice too.

Probably more compatible than the latest Amiga browsers!

You can run IE 4.01 and Netscape 4.05 on Shapeshifter, they work ok, I needed netscape to access my bank.  On my system I gave Shapeshifter 40Mb ram to work with, it was plenty to browse with.  Compatibility wise I found that some sites that Ib and V would not work on would work, others would not.  A version 5+ browser on Shapeshifter would solve this but 68K versions do not exist.

is there an AmigaOS browser (I use OS 3.9) which supports css (stylesheets)?

I was wondering the same thing.

It should be noted that a browser doesn't have to have 100% support for all CSS1 commands... "graceful degredation", and all that.  Simple support for colors and borders would be nice.  Adding proper padding, margin, and float (UGH!) support would be pretty painful for a 68K system -- even Mozilla doesn't always do it right.

Hell, I don't think any browser does it right, as I've found out the hard way.  Real CSS coders are aware of compliance issues and code accordingly.  They're much more aware of compatibility problems than HTML coders (sort of like comaring VHS to LazerDisc owners a decade ago.  They're definately not the same class of people).  ;-)
