My favorite web browser is the quick and dirty one David Ungar wrote in
Self using morphs back in 1995. As you might imagine from that date, it
doesn't have tables, frames, background images and so on. It used
morphic buttons for links, for example. I really liked the way the page
would grow as the html was read in - IE has since added this feature
and it is the thing I miss most in Netscape.
Unfortunately this doesn't run in the Mac version of Self, but if you
have a Sparc I would suggest you take a look at this.
