Links (well ... 2.13 works after minimal tests, but not tested on 80386 with < 16 MiO RAM) DOSLYNX (HTTPS works, but has some other flaws, hopefully needs less RAM than LINKS) http://www.xaver.me/drdoswiki/index.php?n=Main.Browsers > Want to browse the web with support for current standards? Use a > browser under Windows or a flavor of *nix. (I'm in Firefox FireFox 1 -> 4 MiO FireFox 48 -> 50 MiO The bloat increase is just incredible :-D and sure RAM and CPU consumption grows too I had FireFox pretty well working on my great Pentium 1 laptop with 64 MiO RAM some years ago ... nowadays the Internet is on the limit of usability with Pentium 3 and 256 MiO. When are they going to drop Pentium 3 and XP? Can I have the good old paper mail of FreeDOS lists? Also the Opera development after version 9 is shameful ... bloat, many new "features" (most of them useless), the absurd JavaScript "performance" race, notoriously bad quality of releases (the infamous NO-SCRIPT-BUG ...) ... and killing their native engine after version 12. The world doesn't need "fastest" JavaScript engines needing several 100 MiO RAM, and even less Adobe Flu$h. The "current standards" are just absurdly increasing cost for essentially same functionality (we could use mail, post in forums, upload and download files, use CVS/SVN/GIT, Bugzilla, online maps, timetables, ...) already 10 or 15 years ago. The "new great user experience" means just that Internet more and more sucks. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list Freedos-user@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
