So the AROS network is done already? Didn't realize that! Well it might be nice to have a browser, but I know having something that just happens to work with Java, Flash, and all that new crap is a LONG way off. In the mean time I hope E-UAE catches up witn WinUAE, at least I'd have a Javaless, Flashless browser to tie me over till this gets on it's feet.

 Glad some one picked this up!

Firefox uses Gecko as rendering engine, Rob ports Webkit - so one does not bring the other.

Why not start from scratch?

It was possible with the RISC OS web browser 'Netsurf' (http://www.netsurf-browser.org)

Because then the very next bounty would have to be, to replace NetSurf.

Rob's project is really the way to go, WebKit, Safari, et al, are lightyears ahead of NetSurf, so why even mention it?

edit:  sorry, I just realized you asked, not to port NetSurf, but why not start from Scratch...well really that would be up to Rob to talk about, but I would have to imagine, because its faster to do a port than to 'reinvent the wheel' so to speak..i.e start from scratch.

Probably because it's more work and less features.
