WTF Google?
Hi folks,
Maybe this belongs in another section, but maybe not, as it's news. Google doesn't seem to support Amiga browsers anymore :( Tonight I can navigate directly to websites, but Google searches lock up iBrowse, NetSurf on all my Amigas at every attempt. Correction: Timberwolf works, seems slow. Yet another thing we can all enjoy wishing we could enjoy...Yay :( :( :( :( PZ. |
NetSurf should support it?

Duckduckgo.com also doesn't work. Can navigate directly to sites I've never been to on any Amiga, so clearly the problem is with google (and duckduckgo)... PZ. |
Update: OWB under OS4.x will work with google & duckduckgo.
Not much help for those without 4.x or those wanting to use a better browser... PZ. |
For mine, Google Brazil works under IBrowse, but I set the "Spoof As" feature to MSIE 4.0 always. There is a panel under the configuration editor to set it for each website.
|
i wonder if this is why i was having problems connecting to anything via google a few weeks ago...with 3.1
OS4.1 was also locking up doing google searches the other day. |
Do you have javascript support?
|
Yes, something has changed I can't search with Google now either.
But it works as long as you enable the JavaScript support. |
Read the last line here ;)
|
ibrowse works perfect in google here, of course javascript is always enabled
anyways ibrowse javascript is old and ourdated, browsing the web in the amiga sucks |
Well you could always use Lynx :p
|
Works fine in IBrowse2.4 on AOS 3.0 with spoof set to MSIE4.0 and java script turned off. On works as well.

Yes, I was going to tell now that I've tried and it looks very well with spoof MSIE 5.5 and JavaScript on or off.
Edit: It's curious that on AmiKit for PC -using RTG- there is no problem with Google having the default options. |
Disable Javascript. Google searches work fine without it, at least until they finally decide to completely screw over anybody using an Unapproved Browser.

Spoof set to IE works, thanks people...BUT...
How do you force iBrowse to spoof? I can only do it manually after starting the browser each time... PZ. |
Right click on the bottom right corner and you will find all of the options including Spoof.
I use MSIE as it shows the Google logo image too. Then just save or save as. It will be saved in the IBrowse preferences in the IBrowse directory. Quote:
