Browsers

[Dave]

Mr Triff is off rambling again... (No walking boots required.

Apparently sometime there's going to be another RISC OS browser joining
NetSurf, and assuming I'm not being told porkies... I have no idea what it
will look like UI wise or even a name, but it seems to be a good idea.

That said lets hope it doesn't in any way resemble Google Chrome or now
changed MS-Edge.

That said-2 One of the things Win side I've HATED about GC and MS-Edge is
the lack of a Menubar, however there is now an addon/extension that gives
a Menubar to both of them.

If you'd managed to get to the South West (Bristol) Show, you'd have seen
Andrew demonstrating it.

There actually two on the way. The main one being called Iris, using the
latest software development kit (SDK from Qt5), the other is called OWB.

You already can get a new more capable browser called called !Otter, it
uses sadly uses lots memory as pretty much all browsers on the other
platforms and not the fastest but does work better with a lot of sites
then !NetSurf.

I think you mainly use a RiscPC still not sure how well they will perform
on that.

The new browser are already in some users hands as a beta (users who
invested in RISC OS Developments) and they hope for a more general release
in near future.
