Voyager V3 Browser
Hi:
I recently installed AIAB and discovered a browser, Voyager V3: http://v3.vapor.com/voyager/ It works better than I thought in my miggy. But it seems they aren't supporting it anymore. I'm wondering if they would "free" the sourcecode and what do you think about this browser. By now I'm using it almost perfect if it wasn't for the constant windows messages about errors, but it opens almost all. Edit: But in AIAB I've got less errors, perhaps I'm missing something. Edit: Done, now only errors about cookies, just like in AIAB. What do you think about this browser? Have you tried it? Do you use AIAB? I can make a short video if you want. Edit: It works very well. Perhaps there's a way to save the cookies enabled. Well... the colors of the images... but Cammy has a great project on the way to use the 16 colors palette of Rebel...

I don't use it but a short video and a description of how you got it to work would be great. I could make a page on the AIAB site for it if you allowed me to use that info.

I will post a video, but that what you say about the installation is an enigma for me. Yes you can download the installer in my link, and about the key I found it in the file server, but I don't find it now.
http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=16714 Quote:
I installed it with the installer, but there are a couple of extrange things: -In WinUAE opening the program it doesn't open. You can click on it and perhaps it will open the 6th time, but if you open SnoopDos just to see what happens, it will open at first or second attempt. But if you install it in the miggy it will open with the first click. ¿¿??. -Also after installing, it wasn't working very well. I installed it and it coudn't open almost anything. So the best and easy way to install it and working right: I first used the installer to copy some libs it needs. Later I've deleted it and then I've copied the AIAB Internet drawer, that has Voyager with it's preferences and better icons there. Then I've put in the user-startup Assign >NIL: Applications: Apps: , that is the volume where I've stored "Internet", and in AIAB it uses Applications. For others the internet drawer of AIAB is in their main page: http://aiab.ultimateamiga.co.uk/ I've copied also the fonts from AIAB, as it will need some of them. Later you can customize it clicking on the top and changing the preferences; the buttons (the best are the ones it already uses with AIAB), the background (I'm using one of AIAB), etc etc. Now I only need to know how to save the cookies enabled. As you can see it works very fast. This is with WinUAE in my Amikit conversion for 16 colors: [ Show youtube player ] Edit: DONE! No more cookies messages. It's just Settings (right click on top), General Settings, Security, Cookies Last edited by Retrofan; 11 October 2012 at 16:26. |

Back in the day, Voyager was my favourite browser. I registered for every version including the latest. It was definitely the fastest, the prettiest and also the most compatible AFAIK, However it crashes like crazy, especially the last build was virtually unusable due to the high volume of crashes.
I eventually switched to AWeb once OS3.5 was released; It was a lot slower but a lot more stable. |

It might have been better than Ibrowse earlier but i think Ibrowse is better.

voyagerNG was always very buggy...it crashes for any reason...ibrowse or aweb were always better than voyager
but the best browser for use on a classic amiga is still netscape 4.x under mac emulation also there is a browser for MAC 68k which support advanced javascript and frames is called ICAB |

I used the Netconnect CD back in the day which contained Voyager - I thought the whole package including this browser was excellent but the internet moved on quickly and crashes became more frequent - I switched to Ibrowse and that was a little more stable. I think I used Voyager V.3.2 as my last version.

I don't know about crashes now. Somebody tell me a web that IBrowse opens and another can't, just to try, or any that IBrowse can't.
What I see is that neither IBrowse nor AWeb nor Voyager will update theirs browsers, so any opensource would be great, and I'm tired of people asking IBrowse to make it. And this doesn't need FPU, not like NetSurf. Last edited by Retrofan; 12 October 2012 at 10:12. |

Anyone still have this keyfile? vapor.com is gone. I can't get either IBrowse or AWeb to load a https:// url. I've tried the latest couple of versions of amissl and while they will both try with 3.6, both still fail.
Or any advice on making ibrowse actually work would be cool. But its preferences tool crashes when I try to edit its preferences... |

Voyager V3 also was my favorite browser, i still use it on my A600 vampire setup and i have a valid keyfile.
For Amiga forums/sites and aminet it's fine but on more modern websites it crashes a lot when it gets all too complicated for poor old V3. Obtaining the sources could be Quite a challenge since Oliver Wagner has died not so long ago. It would be awesome if somebody could get the sources though, the rendering engine is really fast, and with some small updates (more HTML 4 support+CSS) it would be fairly usable again. Now my main browser is Netsurf on the Amiga (most compatible) |

After rebooting just open CLI and type in: makedir env:amissl setenv amissl/ssl_client_version tls1 copy env:amissl envarc:amissl Again reboot. Now, you should be able to access HTTPS. If it comes to prefs you need to change the resolution of your screen. Make it a bit higher. |

I have v3.3.126 on my hard drive, if you can't find it anywhere let me know and I'll up it to the ftp. It could already be on there though so worth having a look.
