Does Ibrowse have all the features of a modern browser?  Or should I expect something along the lines of Aweb in OS 3.9? Very disappointing that was.

Let's face it, a good browser, either included with the OS or as a standalone version, is crucial
for any computer today.

This is what it says in the FAQ :

Is the release of IBrowse 2.3 in AmigaOS4 the full version ?
No, it's a special OEM version for AmigaOS4 - not as restricted as the demo, but not the full release.

IBrowse 2.3 was announced as being PPC in AmigaOS4, is that true ?
No. There appears to have been some confusion with the announcement originally made by Amiga Inc. Stefan never licensed a PPC version of IBrowse 2.3 for AOS4.

So will IBrowse 2.3 be PPC at all ?
No. IBrowse 2.3 will be 68K only. There are no plans for a PPC version of 2.3 at this time.

What about the future, will IBrowse be going PPC only ?
No, as long as there is a market for 68k versions, IBrowse will continue to be released in a 68k format. However, from IBrowse 3.0 onwards, a PPC native version will be available.

Call me confused... :-?
