Ibrowse eyebrows
Getting back to the original topic, the hardware i mentioned a few posts ago is spec'd out as follows:įits Amiga 2000, 30 (Zorro 2/3 compatible).
I am clearly aware that what I want is frivolous and pointless in the long run, but some people like jumping out of planes without parachutes or launching a convertible into space.
everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It would be a modern Amiga web browser, not a Firefox clone.īut i don't want to argue any further than that. We are never going to get the latest Firefox on 3.x (and even if we did it would be outdated in 3 months) but is this the only possible definition of 'modern'? IMO if we can get a browser that is functional on the majority of websites that we want to view on classic Amigas then it should qualify. This is what the Web was supposed to be - not an attempt to mimic print magazines and sales brochures. If a web page has graphical glitches it doesn't worry me, just so long as the the information is accessible.

Most of the problems that all web browsers have are caused by nonstandard extensions and abuse of HTML code by web designers who don't understand the philosophy behind it (that different devices and viewers will render pages according to their preferences and abilities). Regarding rendering 'accuracy', HTML was never intended to exactly reproduce a particular layout. So just getting a browser which is 'modern' enough to use the latest TLS would be a big improvement. I have Javascript disabled by default in IBrowse and it doesn't affect normal browsing on my favorite sites. Javascript may be slow, but still functional if you are willing to wait. We can't view sites at all where TLS V1.1 or higher is used, and lack of CSS makes some pages render so badly that they are practically impossible to navigate.
The problem isn't bottlenecks, it's functionality. CSS and TLS isn't the bottleneck for the modern web-JavaScript is.
