    Rebased to latest stable WebKitGTK over the weekend, mainly in order to stay in sync with Void Linux big endian patches. So far so good in terms of websites that I've tested: Re-Captcha, Telegram, WhatsApp all working.

    Starting to work on the actual browser application now...

    That's amazing progress for such a comparatively short time on this project, and thanks for the update

    Been afk and working on other things in the past few weeks, but back now:



    Basic download handling seems to be working OK.

    Yes, trademark.

    There's also a dedicated thread here on MorphZone :-)

    No, they are not shared. OS4 does not have the required prerequisites.

    Jacek is a member of the MorphOS Dev. Team, and this project is NOT an extension of Odyssey, it is a "from the ground up" creation of a new WebKit based browser, which was only made possible due to the recent improvements in the core components of MorphOS itself. Those core components are not present or available for AmigaOS4, so none of Jacek's work could benefit the AmigaOS4 users, even if there were any programmers still working for Hyperion.

    Sorry for the jab about Hyperion, but I am one of those AmigaOS4 users as well as a MorphOS user, and I deeply dislike the way Hyperion does business (if that is what you call what they are doing), and the lack of progress and direction that Hyperion has made for AmigaOS4 users, over the past decade. Anyone with a brain can see that the current legal battle was started because of the hostile actions of Hyperion's controlling share holder regarding AmigaOS3 sales, only because he saw an opportunity to make a few quick $$$, not because he has any interest, or intention to further develop the OS for AmigaOS3 users. There were years of peaceful coexistence between Cloanto and Hyperion prior to this current hostile activity all started by Ben Hermans and his attempts to claim ownership of all Amiga IP, as well as registering a Trademark, or Copyright for AmigaForever, which has been used by Cloanto for ages.

    Again, sorry for the off-topic rant about Hyperion. This is not the place for such discussions, but if you want to discuss it further with me in private, I would be happy to share my opinion with you.

    Which OS4 version? AFAIK, this new browser is MorphOS-specific (see comment #60).

    Spotify uses Widevine DRM, so even if audio support is added to the browser, its player will not work.

    Even if we somehow managed the funds to get 2 developers certified for Widevine DRM (10kUSD, anyone?), the OS itself has no security mechanisms that'd be required to implement this.

    Pity Efika has so little RAM - would have been "kind of fun" to wait for ~2 hrs to start Telegram....

    For me it would be OK to restrict acceleration to tinyGL supported cards as most machines can be upgraded (or downgraded if you use RadeonHD) to have compatible gfx cards


    We would rule out: ati rage/radeon 7000/7200/7500/voodoo3/Radeon HD... a software fallback may be enough for these.

    Needs about 10 minutes to warm up initially, but once you log in it seems fine, also after re-loading.
