So in very short time the bounty has come very far, which makes me think this bounty can easily be fulfilled! :D
This time of the month, most of us has got another paycheck and probably already paid the monthly bills as well. So if you have some money to spare, please consider kicking in some fresh dollars to the bounty stash! :)
Every little contribution counts!
Bigger contributions counts even more! :p ;)
A browser of Odyssey's caliber will mean *a lot* to the OS4, AROS and ARIX platforms, so if you have any feelings for these and want to strengthen their position by making it possible to port this great web browser to them, then
show it to the community (and have your name put on the growing list of contributors!)
Let's at least push it past the 2/3 milestone this time!
