Hi - this is my first post here, and it's a fitting subject hehe. I am at this very moment using netsurf 68k (the latest from aminet) on amikit under OS3.9 and WinUAE. It works really well - pages display correctly, and it's fast under my settings. However it's not perfect - for instance there is no right click function - not a big limit, but it's diferent o be sure. I hope this will be the first of many post for me.


....I have found Netsurf68K also to be quite satisfactory in WinUAE. Sure it is minus various features but it displays even the most complex web pages. I had it out on various world news sites (full of complex content) and it all looked pretty good via Netsurf. The YouTube video playing trick also worked better than expected. So for WinUAE or maybe Amithlon uses, this is the only 68K web browser of merit in my opinion.

bump!

Is there any progress being made to speed up things for real 68k machines?
Could a bounty help?


Question:
For me it is only a matter of speed : )
http://blog.mypapit.net/2006/10/elinks-the-best-text-based-web-browser.html

What do you think? It is written in Ansi-C....

Should be fast, has css support (: D ), tabs, donwloads in background, and can launch external viewers.

Elinks is pretty kickass all right. I've never used it on a 68k machine, but I know Links (the parent project) is actually eminently usable on DSLinux, so it's probably at least capable of use on a decent 68k Amiga.

well i start to like it. Tested it on AEROS..
This weekend i will check/ try a compile for AmigaOS. Never did it before ; )
But clean Ansi-C should really be straightforward.

w3m browser is more up to date and probably wouldn't take much effort to compile an Amiga version.

It would be geat to have good text only browser for low end classic amigas.

Hopefully we get native Netsurf for high end classic amigas also.

Yeah, it just hasn't been updated in quite a while whereas w3m is still being updated.

Heh, that ELinks looks interesting. I'll have a look tonight.

Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

fishy_fiz : Could you pay some attention to Netsurf also? It should be quite easy now, all debensies are already done and OS4 sources are made keeping mind that somebody might want to backport it OS3.

Sorry that this is repeating, but I'm not a coder myself and I'm keeping to hope that Netsurf could made 68k amigas more capable for dayli use? I'm realistic that it wount be general surf solution, but it would be cool to surf amiga sites with amiga.

SDL front end is not too far from it.

@utri007

I'd like to, but to be honest I think I might get sick of browsers by the time I have time. After looking at ELinks Im interested in porting OWB from either MOS or AROS sources. MOS of course would be preferable, but it mostly comes down to which is easier. AROS OWB isnt too bad anyway. Has bookmarks, a download manager, tabs, some basic prefs and so on.

Unfortunately I plan to use it on my amithlon box, so either way it's unlikely to be suitable for classics (hence my interest in Elinks).

All hypothetical for now I guess seeing as Im still wresting with my dev. env. at the moment (sodding softlinks in tar files... does anyone know how to deal with these in OS3.x please? Im using pfs3 if that means anything)
