Actually there are three, as there's a version built for AmiCygnix too!

You'll find Artur's version is called NetSurf68k.

The main factor which tells them apart is the frontend. Artur's is "Framebuffer-SDL", mine is "Amiga", the AmiCygnix version is "gtk".  Once you've seen them all it's easy to tell which is which. Before then, read the readme files.



3.6dev. It's equivalent to CI build 3602, I think.
Once you have it running, "about:testament" will tell you exactly which Git commit it is built from (and by whom, and when)!


LOL. Well that's about as clear as mud. :lol:

Kidding, kidding. But it's really challenging for anyone who's not already intimately familiar with all the different versions to make heads or tales of all this. I haven't had much time for playing around these past few months, but I know it felt like I downloaded about 30 different versions before I found one that worked on my A2000, back when I started playing around with this. ;)

I'd go one step further. Put them all on one website, or on Aminet. Make it as "dumbed down" as possible. E.g.,

"Click here to download NetSurf for classic machines with a graphics card"
"Click here to download version for classic machines with AGA"
"Click here to download version for WinUAE"
"Click here to download version for OS4"
"Click here to download version for MOS"

Etc. Doesn't have to necessarily be in that order, just a clear differentiation between which version is for which system, lol. :p
