For those having issues please can you try our CI builds from https://ci.netsurf-browser.org/builds/ and if you are still experiencing problems a bug report on https://bugs.netsurf-browser.org would be appreciated.

The browser is a little limited in its javascript support (and hence rendering of a lot of modern sites) but it should not crash in general operation.

Are you looking at adding JavaScript, SVG or TTF?

Why do animated gifs stutter and flicker on Win!

I'm really so tired of Chrome and it's two day compile times, this is great!

As I mentioned elsewhere, we have no windows frontend maintainer so feature development specific to windows does not currently happen.

The win port uses windows 2000 compatible GDI calls and I imagine this is the cause for GIF flickering, SVG not rendering and truetype fonts not being used.

The core browser functionality does support javascript, however there are thousands of DOM bindings and our progress in implementing them all is slow.

Ok, I'll test on linux tonight, I'm going to follow the progress and hopefully I'll be able to help before it becomes too bloated! ;)

Does it run well on Raspberry Pi?

@kylikki Would it be possible to get a recent build with Cocoa frontend?

[kyllikki]

We are a very small team and rely on maintainers to actively look after a frontend. For example Chris does a brilliant job keeping the Amiga frontend in shape and I keep GTK going. Other frontends like Windows, RISC OS and Atari lack a maintainer altogether and are kept going purely through inertia.

Unfortunately the Mac OS X frontend became unmaintained some time ago and eventually stopped working altogether which resulted in its removal from the master branch and hence releases.

There was some activity by Sven earlier in the year ( http://source.netsurf-browser.org/netsurf.git/log/?h=svenw/c... ) but it was not ready to be included and I think he lost interest again.
