[MiNT] AW: Re: This must be an gcc / ld error!

[Christian Hellmuth <christian.hellmuth@gmx.de>]

I agree, I tested netsurf on my ubuntu setup at work and tried to use it like I do use firefox. It was pretty okay. Even the critical pages for Links like Ebay and Amazon were displayed and usable. Sure missing JS is a drawback, but regarding Atari browsers netsurf would be a big step forward as it supports ssl and the only atari browser (beside links what has other issues like not being able to write special signs like @, problem with downloads..) that uses ssl currently is cab and this one is 11 years old and rendering and speed are too!

Best regards,

Chris

I only have version 2.1 for openSUSE and it renders atari-forum.com quite 
well. I don't notice any significant difference with Firefox. Anyway, Netsurf 
would certainly be interesting to see running on the Atari.
