Timberwolf Alpha 1 released

[Pyromania]

Congrats! Thanx for all the hard work on Project Timberwolf! Some said this day would never come but it is here.

Finally Firefox for Amiga OS!

For those that complain about Amiga.org not looking good on Amiga browers here is a solution for you. If your version of Amiga OS is too old to run Timberwolf maybe it's finally time to upgrade.

I look forward to the final version of Timberworf. I ran this Alpha version just now and it's better than what I expected.

This will make others that are not part of the Amiga scene take Amiga OS 4.1 more seriously.

How so? I mean, what does this offer that OWB can't provide?

Name recondition and branding. Like it or hate it Firefox is one of the most used software applications in the world. OWB is awesome too but who has heard of it? Few outside of the Amiga community. The Webkit engine powering OWB is of course very nice and powers Safari too.

Everyone knows it's Firefox.

Pretty sure since the changes to the code that make this work on Amiga OS 4.1 are being kept close source they can't call it Firefox. Mozilla Foundation would not allow it.

Move = MorphOS 2.5 comes out.

Move = Timberwolf beta for Amiga OS 4.1.

Move = MorphOS Team, your move.

So how do you think the browsing experience of Timberwolf compares to OWB on MorphOS?

OWB on MorphOS is a great browser. I even played HTML5 YouTube videos with it. Since Timberwolf is still in Alpha form not really fair to compare it with OWB jut yet but I will once it is further along. You must admit having Firefox on a modern Amiga OS is quite an achievement.
