OWB 2.3 supports tooltypes for the window size, home and search URLs and I've implemented AmigaOS scroll bars for the main frame.
In version 2.4 the horizontal scroll bar is fixed, I've added menus and support for multiple windows (only opening them manually, not by links or javascript).
OWB can open new windows itself in version 2.5.

Thanks! The horizontal slider seems to be broken, otherwise works great!
One of my partner recently changed his online ordering system and it is forced me to retire IBrowse for some tasks. Furtunately OWB works great with the new design so I am not forced to use other machine. :)

Have you tried pressing F3/F4? DoDuo 2.2 feature for zooming.
Actually, you won't see anything that the 1.24 didn't show you yet. You should even be disapointed since 2.3 is lacking some of the UI enhancements found in 1.24.
However, using OWB 2.3 is a charm, really (i mean REALLY) fast. On my G3/800, it is slightly faster than Ibrowse.
I don't have an OS4 amiga, but I'd love to see screenshots all the same :D
You can try my AmigaOS 3.9/m68k port of OWB Blastoise on a very fast PC with UAE (due to a bug in the CPU check it IIRC has to be set to emulate a 68060 although 68020+FPU should have been enough). It's not the current version of OWB (Doduo) and it doesn't have a GUI, but except for the fonts the rendering, CSS, javascript, etc., support is the same as in the OS4 port of OWB Blastoise (versions 1.x).
tabs please? :D then i might start using it as my main browser.
No tabs yet, but I got multiple windows working now Not for new windows which should be opened by OWB itself yet, for example target="_blank" links, only manually opening them for now.
Thanks for the explanation about improvements in CSS rendering but for those not used to use (try to say this ten times :) ) OWB, they won't see many differences.

That's great news indeed!

It looks like this version is using hard drive a lot but using less RAM. Certain type of links doesn't work (links which are printed in/from javascript). Otherwise it's working nicely !
