Either use a test build: http://www.netsurf-browser.org/downloads/riscos/testbuilds Or copy the homepage from the test build over the one in your NetSurf 2.7 installation. It is located in the !NetSurf.Docs.welcome directory. Netsurf may not have Java but it can be a lot quicker to search in Google using Netsurf. When I type the search term(s) into Google on my PC, which has all the latest upgrades, automatically installed) it wastes a lot time trying to guess what I am going to type and sometimes it replaces my search term with something completely different.

Netsurf may not have Java but it can be a lot quicker to search in
Java_Script_!
It doesn't have Java, either, but JavaScript is the main missing bit.
However, as for Michael, NetSurf works a lot quicker for me than
Windows Firefox, if JavaScript isn't involved. Many thanks to all the
developers.
With best wishes,
Peter.
