| This is like waiting for buses...... hang around for ages then two come along at once
Nice to see developments like this putting in an appearance. Just a shame that a lot of current Amiga users cannot make use of them yet owing to a lack of suitable available hardware to run OS4 on. _________________ Test sig (new)

| "Web giant Google confirmed this evening it will stump up $20,000 to pay for four undergraduate programmers to work on the NetSurf project this summer."
Not the OS4 porters alas, but intresting, wonder if the writers of other more Amigaish Web Browsers could apply for that money?

| That's been and gone, with an awful lot of improvements added by the GSoC students. Some are in the port (like the new HTML5 parser), and other aren't yet because they require me to do some work to add them (tabs, PDF saver).

| I refuse to be a guinea pig! When you get something worth my while, then I 'might' take a look. Sorry for the terse/harsh line, but I'm tired of Amiga promises. I bought IBrowse, AWeb, contributed to Amozilla and Sputnik and got crap to this day. _________________

Nobody is forcing you to download, look at or use NetSurf, and even doing so does not cost you any money - so I'm not quite sure what your point is.
This early release is purely because a number of people asked. Otherwise I would have waited until it was more complete. _________________ "Miracles we do at once, the impossible takes a little longer" - AJS on Hyperion Avatar is Tabitha by Eric W Schwartz

Likewise I do not understand your terse comment in relation to what is a free application.
It isn't as though there are a lot of people who can beta test these things, and any feedback to the developer can only help speed up and diagnose problems in the port, which can then be rectified and thus give you a better browser.
At least you have OS4 and a machine capable of running it to be able to even attempt using this much more modern browser for the Amiga. _________________ Test sig (new)

I totaly see where you are coming from, but this project is different, you should take a look at the website first before arguing from past experience.
It's an excelent browser, many use it as their main browser, with the Firefox port as backup with badly coded sites, or forms that require Javascript for varification, but as websites become more standards complient the need for use of Firefox becomes less ans less every day.
I suggest you try it out, you might be supprised
Its 6 years in development in April just gone. Netsurf is not going to disapear anytime soon. |
