Well, Peter Naulls was doing something with Konqueror as part of his Unix Porting Project - see this:

http://www.chocky.org/unix/browser.html

Don't know the current state of it, because I can't afford to resubscribe at the moment :-(

Well the cookie handling seems better, now the cookie from my favourite site (www.g503.com) works correctly so I'll be upgrading :-)

Yeah, it sounds easy when you say it fast like that ;-)
I think Peter Naulls was planning to port Konqueror but has now decided to port the graphics enabled version of Links (Lynx?) web browser first.
www.chocky.org/unix (though I don't seem to be able to get there at the moment - probably the cacky internet connection we have at work)
Should be re-subscribing to it when I get paid next week :P
Cheers!

I have downloaded the Demo of O2 and it has certainly been developed considerably from the first demo made avilable late 2001.

Sdaly however there is still no sign of a search within page facility (somthing I need to use regularily).

I also note that the with this demo that cliking on URL's in postings in Plout does not seem to start a page fetch?.

In spite of this I have sent of my order for the upgrade. Hoping that that will show some inprovement.

Why doesnt just go full the full whack and port windows?
Why doesnt someone port unix?
Why dosent someone port Mac OS?
Why doesnt someone port XP?

Why don't more ppl learn how to port rather than offering suggestions which have already been discussed else where.

To be fair, suggestions of porting things often come from users; and they often come in the form of "Why" rather than "PORT IT! NOW!", even if they could be a bit more polite, and are very naive.

Developers sometimes forget there is a user base out there who simply don't want to program, or don't have time.

(And before Chocky arrives - an ideal way for users to help porting is by signing up to his excellent Unix Porting Project ;-))

This is the best browser I have used on RISC OS. No question about it.

I am hopuing that Castle will have the manual sent out as soon as possible. Little tips like fast scrolling by holding the mouse pointer at the top or bottom of the page are things that should be told about.

That scrolling thing is irritating. They should make iy so you have to hold a mouse button down aswell.

The scrolling is a disaster. The whole point of the vertical scroll bar is so that you can see how big the document is in relation to what you can see. If you want to go straight to the bottom you have to wait for it to scroll through the whole document. Nope - a big fat zero out of ten for that misfeature.
