I have 2 differnts experience with timberwolf

On my Sam 460 it load and do it pretty fast the partition is a SFS on a SSD Samsung 840
it is slow in scrolling the pages and slow in download procedures 350kb max dl compared with 850kb max dl of MuiOwb.... i think if in future will be a compositing accel. probably timberworlf can fly.

On my Peg 2 G4 1ghz it crash during loading the partition is a SFS on a Uide HD on the Peg2 controller.
Soon i wil test it on a Sata Hd if something will change

Nor flash, or Java or unbroken Javascript. But those are things we accept. However, on OSX PPC, they face the same things. You need special software and plugins just like we do on Amiga. There are even flash plugins that open a window over the browser just like on the Amiga! So we shouldn't feel so bad. Though I thought a plugin would interface with the browser better and embed moving pictures in browser window so really I'm not that impressed for a modern OS open source browser!


Erm, where is javascript broken in Odyssey/OWB?

I was too fast. Read later post. (I can confirm this. No problems when setting it to offline before quitting.)

Using Timberwolf again after long time it works a lot better than what I remembered. Maybe modern hardware helps.

Yup and thats why I got an "abuse violation" for this post.. unreal..

Tested on SSD on Sata controller
There is working "wihtout problem" it is fast (compared with my 460ex lite) and more enjoyable but need to be more optimized.
For now it is the only one browser is supporting HTML5... when some kind of sites is using this lenguage i use timberwolf ... for all the remain sites MuiOwb continue be the best solution.

Definitely not. OWB, even in its old 1.9 version supports HTML5. But i suppose you mean HTML5 media, rather. Indeed, it's only available in MorphOS ports.

But as a reminder, Odyssey in its latest version scores 417 + 16 bonus points on HTML5test.com, which is more than what Firefox 22 supports (and that's with webgl, workers and a couple other things disabled, it could actually be more in the future...).

I don't know about scores, but what I can say is that Timberwolf often work whit pages that OWB has problems whit, like my NETGEAR WINCE2001, WLAN TO LAN adapter, and some router software, there is progress bare that should be update that is not on OWB.

As for QT OWB I think it uses a older WebKIT.

On sites that break it. On some sites I get errors. I don't have a list as I haven't made up one but I do have a shortlist of sites that crash OWB. The crashes are more severe than Javascript.

But one thing that annoys me with OWB is that I set to spoof it as one thing, load a page and find it has gone back to default. So what if I didn't save it? It still makes the option meaningless if I can't test it! I wonder why no particular HTML5 video pages ever worked.

If you'd like to post a few links, I'll happily test them with OWB/MorphOS.

The entries on the 'settings' menu (RMB>Settings>spoof as, RMB>settings>plugins, etc) are the settings for that particular tab only. If you follow a link using 'open in new tab' or 'open in new window', or create a new tab - it will use the default settings unless overridden in the menus,
If you want to change settings for all tabs (ie change the default 'spoof as' setting) you need to do that in settings>preferences.

I appreciate that is not immediately clear (perhaps they should be in a submenu such as RMB>settings>this tab>spoof as, etc), but once you realise how it works it's a very convenient way to override the defaults on the fly for a particular tab.

It has its drawbacks though - I personally would like links opened in a new tab to inherit those settings from the parent tab for example.

Thank you. That's +2 and -1.

Do you have SYNC setup? I do not.

Sorry, I was too fast making the previous post. I'm confirming the opposite to what I said. I remembered something which I had forgotten also.

Well this is embarrasing. I have a load of crashlogs but somehow I don't have the sites that crashed it. But just now I loaded OWB up and it crashed! It was loading the following sites. I don't know which one crashed as when I reloaded it didn't crash again! Typical isn't it?

http://www.os4coding.net/forum/pci-howto#comment-1658
http://forum.hyperion-entertainment.biz/search.php?search_id=egosearch&sid=001668fc78e6d12974ed26ce157c0dd3

THe crashlog may be more meaningful. It has symbols at least. I've used logs before to check a crashed functions and found bugs. I think that's more reliable than an actual test case which can be hard to come by.

I decided to just save the setting. Didn't help. Was hoping to find a compatible spoof for HTML WebM for testing YouTube bur it doesn work, always returns in the red. I think the spoofs are too old, they look out of date.

Quote:

THat's a good idea. I usually close a tab down after changing nthe spoof as I find a simple reload doesn't fool the site once it has looked it up.

Quote:

Well it does WebM according to the GUI which HTML5 uses according to YourTube. But this is why I wonder why we had one version of the OWB port and nothing else. I don't know what changes were needed for it to compile but I was hoping this would solve the flash problem. Once again OS4 prooves to be useless at standard browsing despite having around five browsers to chose from!

Yes but then all the flash videos won't work when I want to view them.

You mean we don't need Intel only? PowerPC Mac users might disagree!

Sure we have ARM devices doing flash but I'm sure it only works by accident. Adobe don't like compiling for anything but x86. The ARMs must be litle endian or all the PC ported code would break.

I don't play those games and agree they should be loaded off disk. Not a cloud.

If that's the case why are there problems on OSX/Linux PPC with flash? And more to the point why does the Amiga still have trouble!?

Where are the modern plugins for OS4/X systems that work on the native browsers and embed in the window! I don't see it! Don't they advertise!

Try streaming some videos and see if you can then live without flash...
And funny how people keep bringing up youtube which is pretty much the only video site these days that have somewhat working html5 support.

And about flash ads.. this is why i use noscript and adblock extensions which is only way to really surf internet these days anyways.
There is also a flashblock plugin for most browsers that only blocks flash itself.
