- Well, maybe not *rock* solid. I've experienced a few crashes from Aweb
- 1.0a, but some may have been due to me fiddling while trying to get
- external programs to work. Aweb seems to not like its GUI preferences
- window too much.

-
- I've had Ibrowse crash not only every singe day I used it, but every
- single TIME I used it. Not to mention the fact that it's a big memory
- hog (MUI, perhaps?). I can comfortable multitask with Aweb. Not so with
- Ibrowse.

-
- The big reason I like Aweb is that it's small and relatively efficient.
- Not to mention FAST (and I have a relatively slow 25 mHz 030 - fast
- graphics tho :) ). I sorely miss features from Ibrowse like tables and
- some support for netscapish pages. I know, it's not standard, but it's
- used A LOT out there.
-
- >AWeb may be indeed the first Amiga browser I've seen that I would actually PAY for.
-
- Agreed. When I hear of (1) a version supporting the same "new" tags as
- Ibrowse/Netscape support - or at least enough of them so that some web
- sites I like don't look too weird (2) a convenient and "safe" US
- registration method I *will* register. It's a nice product.
-
- (Actually, just #2 may convince me ... :) )
