IBrowse 2.3 is due anytime soon, that may possibly be the best out of the bunch, Voyager (http://www.vapor.com) is still being developed though...very slowly.

I use Ibrowse myself now, but used Aweb in the past. Ibrowse is by fat the best with Voyager on its heels.

@Mouser

Depends on your browsing habits really, i would suggest you download all 3 (Voyager, Aweb, Ibrowse) and test them out,

If you have come from using a web browser on Windows,Mac,Linux  then sadly you might be disappointed.

I concur with paulgad. All Amiga browsers in their current state are a pile of poo by today's standards. I recommend a computer on the side for you web based needs.

Do you have another computer? I have Voyager to give me access to SSL for banking & purchasing, it has basic Shockwave/Flash functions, and does animated avitars justice. I also have A-Web for more STABLE & everyday browsing. Voyager is VERY tempermental depending on your setup. Never tried I-Browse though, by many posts it may be better than A-Web for "casual" browsing. A-Web is now open code. Good updates may be on the way.

On the amiga I like to use Ibrowse and Aweb (in a pinch).  For mystical reasons Voyager never would work on my 3000.  

I am looking forward to the next version of Ibrowse 2.3, I believe.

As far as I know, Opera never made it to Amiga - I believe there was interest in doing it, but it fizzled.  However, I do use Opera about 95% of the time on my win98 box.  It would be fantastic if it were to be available for 4.0.

Hello
There is a new, fast, open source text / graphic browser for Linux: Links.

This browser support SVGALib, Frame Buffer and X-Windows.  Perhaps this browser can be ported to Linux PowerPC + AmigaOne.

There is a plan to port this browser to Windows and BeOS. Is it possible to port this browser to AmigaOS?

Links Text/Graphic Browser (http://atrey.karlin.mff.cuni.cz/~clock/twibright/links/download.html)

A similar text browser exist for Amiga: Alynx (without graphics).
