Search engine and proxy: FrogFind! makes the web more IBrowse-compatible
The programmer of 'FrogFind!' regularly plays around with his old 68k-based Macs, which don't have up-to-date browsers or the hardware power needed for the modern web. To mitigate this problem, he has developed a portal that displays search results (from DuckDuckGo) and generates a highly simplified version of the desired page when a search result is clicked.
To achieve this, FrogFind! uses a PHP port of Firefox's "reading mode," which automatically removes elements such as menus, headers or footers and displays only the actual content of a web page. FrogFind! then simplifies the result of this operation again and delivers a page in HTML2 standard, where originally embedded graphics are now linked at the end of the document.

Music: Psyria plans new album. Survey for song remake
Dennis 'Psyria' Lohr writes: After "The Last Obligation [EP] (2005)" and the following longplayer "The 2nd Chapter (2007)", fans had to be patient for another 11 long years, until 2018 - With the longplayer "Moving On" the long awaited follow-up finally succeeded.

MorphOS: Web browser Wayfarer 1.12
In version 1.12, Jacek 'jacadcaps' Piszczek's web browser Wayfarer supports YouTube for the first time. For now, there are some limitations, though. Sometimes it helps to change the "allow media playback" setting or to spoof as an iPad for example.
Changes include:
- Overlay based video playback
- Experimental support for Media Source
- Improvements in HLS playback
Wayfarer requires MorphOS 3.14 and 1 GB of RAM. A CPU with at least 1,5 GHz is recommended. For feedback to the author, besides the integrated crash report also e-mails to wayfarer at wayfarer.icu or the corresponding thread at MorphZone can be used. (snx)

Wolfram Alpha search engine: AskYourAmiga 0.6 (update)
AskYourAmiga or AYA is a program for accessing the Wolfram Alpha answer engine (Wikipedia). It doesn't provide links to web pages, but answers to search queries directly - which can be processed graphically (e.g. as a curve).
Version 0.5 offers so-called "assumptions" - it is now possible to separate identical search terms. For example, a search for "Berlin" will distinguish between the cities with this name, the band name and the first name or family name.
Update: (20:05, 17.04.21, dr)
Marcus Sackrow has released version 0.6 which fixes a little bug, especially on AROS, that images prevent from loading properly. (cg) (Translation: bb)

Sachs ( Defender of the Crown, CDTV among others) and Rainer Benda from Commodore Germany.
