This maybe olde news for you. But for me it was/is new news. Therefore not knowing it was old news I shared. And from what I seem to be hear MAC doesn't have a real functional browser out there.
Thanks for sharing, its actually how I found out. ;) I hope you found some interest in the replies you recieved.
Browser threads spark interest on this list.
Apple have Safari.
How well it works is not something I know. If it screams the way Konqueror does on Mdk9.1-ppc then it should rock.
The classic os had cyberdog. I would invite you to use the links in the last message if your interested in cyberdog, its worth the look, some links are long dead.
A mac user from back when would be better suited to comment as to the hows and why's and what others.
The classic os mainly depends on third party software for browsers like IE4.0.1, NS4.8 (both final) which both install and run well on 7.1 and install the required CP's and ext's while Icab is a favorite to many, there are, of coarse, others which you will find linked to gamba's browser page. Most do their job well and if you lucky enough to have broadband most perform well with a bit of extra memory and a little care with the prefernces.
You wont get every site with any browser but that should be expected as the internet gets newer tech and 68k browsers are static. You also must know that no macs are equal, something that works well for me may not suit you.
I'm sorry I don't know the cpu requirements for the IE or NS versions I mentioned, NS will give you a OS warning which you ignore on a 040. If you neeed help drop me a line.
It might be worth keeping in mind that in other operating systems the window manager can be much more than just a simple file browser, in fact a network is a logical extension of the services the window manager can provide.
There is little doubt IE was part of the M$ deal which gave Apple time to work on the huge task of designing new macs and a new OS. You wont see anyone do it like Apple has.
A postition that allows more oppertunity to develope things like a more intergrated browser. Apple also had Netscape who had preference on install cd's and bundled stuffit lite in their later packages.
Apple didn't need to compete or supply many changes to the OS to have free software supplied for the beneift of mac user.
Cheers.
