Browsers should all now be free. Now that there is the open-source AWeb, i doubt any other person could even try to make money out of a browser.

As i see it, the only reason IBrowse will stay alive is if someone like Hyperion or Amiga Inc buys this guy out. Because at the pace open source software seems to move these days, then the amount of people ready to volinteer, a commercial browser just cant compete unless they have hurds of developers working on new groud breaking improvements/inhancements. IBrowse doesnt have that and prolly never will.

I will be surprised if sales of IBrowse will go anywhere but down from here on. Sad, i know, but the fact is, there is a free browser now for AmigaOS, one that will continualy be updated, and is not effected by commercial obligations (making money).

Also, the chances of Amiga Inc and hyperion buying out this guy are slim also unless they can see the advantage of having parts of the webbrowser integrated within the system. That is, because they also see the fact that they already have a browser for AmigaOS (AWeb) and with a licence like the ALP (Or what ever it was called), its going to be hard to compete .
