There's an old ipk of Minimo floating around - it's not very good but as version 2 has now been released, I wondered if it was possible to compile it for pdaxrom?
http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/ http://www.mozilla.org/projects/minimo/WinCE/build.html http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Mozil...ce_Code_Via_CVS There can never be too many browsers for pdaxrom

I get the distinct impression that anything Mozilla Foundation touches turns into a resource hog.  Hopefully the OSB Browser can stabilize quickly and get bit more feature complete.

I did suspect as much as I couldn't find linux sources but I wondered if someone had worked some magic on the old version.....
All I really find usable --for browsing-- is Dillo, but there's no javascript or css . I am hopeful that Osb-browser will make it some day, but right now it just bombs out too much to be usable. Firefox is just sluggish and memory hungry. But we all already know all this eh  I will stay hopeful. |

It renders similar to Dillo, but with frame, table, and JavaScrip support. |

I have tried to get used to links, and I use elinks quite a lot from the terminal, but it just doesn't feel the same for general browsing.
Do you know if there's a way to change the font/size in links-g ? |
