I've looked at a number of browsers. In practice, I don't even *try* to browse from DOS. No need: I have fast broadband and Windows and Linux machines to browse from. Other issues aside, a problem is that just about *everything* you might browse these days uses JavaScript, and doesn't work very well if it's disabled/not present. I have Dillo here under Windows and Linux. (The Windows version is a fork made after the Dillo devs declined to support Windows any longer.) The good part is that it's small and fast. The bad part is that it doesn't support JavaScript. (That's on the long-term road map, but there's a bunch of DOM stuff they need to do before they *can* support JavaScript.) Under Linux, I use Dillo as a fast viewer for locally stored HTML, and do roughly similar things under Windows. For browsing on the Internet, I use Firefox, Chrome, or Qupzilla (a small cross-platform Webkit based browser), with Dolphin joining the party on Android ______ Dennis ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ _______________________________________________ Freedos-user mailing list [email protected] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/freedos-user
