 I think you're right. It has stopped working.

I think you're both wrong.  NetSurf has never had any support for the
'visited' link colour, nor will it do for the foreseeable future.  The
'active' link colour is also non-functional.

Whatever Jim's problem with XP Firefox was, it was presumably this which
inspired him to try NetSurf and observe for the first time that this
feature was unimplemented.

microptimisations

2011-09-06 Thread Brian Bailey 
Just a brief observation. 

Those microptimisations are showing a discernible, finite improvement in
reducing file loading times on my old, slow machine. Small, certainly, but
an improvement nonetheless.

I load a favourite file every so often to see what effect, if any, the
various updates might be having. 

Keep up the good work - much appreciated.

What's the URL?

 A re-draw was successful with the whole page loaded and an increase in
 page rendering.

Not sure exactly what you mean here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dzogchen

Chosen because it usually takes a long time to fetch and render.

  A re-draw was successful with the whole page loaded and an increase in
  page rendering.

 Not sure exactly what you mean here.

ie. the complete page was loaded/rendered after clicking on the page fetch
and re-draw icon.

I have just called up the particolar URL page again and the page loaded 
faultlessly,
this time.
