That's up to you, but I assure you it exists and will be free. I'll probably release a preview version once the major problems are solved (there is one major issue and a few more minor ones I'd like to sort out first)

I've donated to you're previous projects, but the browser project really makes me furious. Money was sent to Amizilla and Sputnik -- for what ? I wish I could get a refund and send you the money! ---
Simon Personally, I applaud Chris for spending his time to benefit the Amiga community, well done to him! I do too, but there's reason to shame me. Thanks for nothing...

I know you have, and thank you again for those.

Unfortunately that's what happens when donating to projects that have barely had any work done on them. With dodgy pre-orders and AI scams, you'd think the Amiga community would have learnt by now
Not yet, I have enough bugs and things on my list already without being bombarded with reports and feature requests. I'd like to fix some of that, and improve the graphical rendering, and then I'll release a preview version.
Oh, and it doesn't use shared objects - I have Joerg's sobjs compatible version of gcc, but if I actually attempt to link with shared objects I get lots of complaints. I think the newlib startup code really doesn't like them (they work fine if I compile without startup code). Needs a new SDK that one.
Did you get in touch with the NetSurf devs for inclusion of (needed?) OS4 specific source code changes, so that eventually it will be possible for everyone with an SDK (and the knowledge) to build a copy of NetSurf for(on) OS4 themselves?
What are the bugs left? (Do you have a TO-DO list up somewhere?
Sorry for the impatience, but i find this project very intruiging.

Money from the Sputnik bounty sits safe with me and if Marcin don't deliver people will get a refund (minus paypal fees). To get sputnik ported was the best shot at the time and i didn't see anyone object to it back when the bounty was started. Comparing it to AI's scams I find rather insulting.
Good luck with netsurf looking forward to see a stable version with javascript, etc. Looks promising.
Already done (I wouldn't have got this far without their help)
Important to-dos: 1. Fix the graphical rendering which makes aw.net unreadable 2. Fix the crashing in the forums here and at aw.net when logged in.
But I'd also like to: 3. Make the rendering more complete (some drawing functions aren't implemented at all, others are very basic) 4. Implement downloads 5. Implement bookmarks
There are lots of other things to be done, but I'd like to do at least 1, 2 and 4 before any sort of release. There will be masses of complaints otherwise (and I can think of some other things that will be complained about that are beyond my control)
