| Just installed it (and replying using it!). Can't comment on stability yet, but one problem I did notice is that after right-clicking to get a context menu, and then that menu disappears, there is a white area left where the menu was (on the page). In fact, if the normal menus overlap the page, then they too leave white areas. I have to scroll the page (even by 1 pixel) to get it to refresh those areas.
But definitely nice to have a browser whose tabs actually work properly (unlike OWB!). Not to mention Grab'n'Drag scrolling . In fact, it may be my imagination, but scrolling seems much faster too. (Although mouse-wheel scrolling is too slow for my tastes, but that is a very personal preference.)
P.S. I was using static lib version of Netsurf. Also it did crash after a while (had several tabs open). Last edited by ChrisH on 24-May-2009 at 10:52 PM.

| So what you guys are saying that AmigaOS 4.1 now officially catching up with an update to date browser? Awesome, what is left is flash support, ajax, javascript, etc. Perfect, perfect, perfect. |

The white areas sounds the same as redfox reported. I was doing some testing to speed up the rendering and changed the window to SimpleRefresh to see if it would make a difference. I don't see the problem here - probably something set in GUI prefs. Anyway, I've changed it back.

| I am worried that the Installer tries to overwrite some OS4 Shared Libraries like libgcc.so
Is there a reason for doing this ? Bugfixes or enhancements ?
If yes we should make sure hyperion knows to avoid compatability problems as i dont want to overwrite my libgcc.so without knowing whatfor.
Great work though ! |

Yes - NetSurf doesn't work properly with the old ones.
libgcc.so and libc.so are the new versions from the OS4.1 SDK, they aren't unofficial updates.
