Re: CT60, Radeon 9250 - Highwire

You might think so because HighWire is in its ground very simple application, it just renders html and adds images with some CSS support.

As soon as we start talking about full CSS(2) and Javascript support, you'll see exactly the opposite, how slow our poor 060 CPU is ;)

We've got quite a long discussion about web browsers at Atari Forum, it's simply too much of work or too few features to make a port. Namely, your examples:

- Iron: based on Chromium, Webkit + GTK2 port needed (huge work)
- Netsurf: the closest to our needs but guess what, lacks Javascript so it wont make much difference to Highwire anyway (plus special UI code would be still needed to write from scratch)
- Midori: webkit + GTK2

Btw, very nice project is also Dillo but same as Netsurf, not worth of porting (yet).
