Porting Opera or Firefox to the Amiga

[Tomas]

@starrunner
Opera is not open source and thus impossible to port.. Firefox is open source, but sadly it would be a huge task to port it since OS4 is missing alot of components that firefox depends on.. There is however a project working on porting it though, but it seems like a port will at best be years away at current pace.

You should try IBrowse 2.4 or Sputnik

How can one use Sputnik when it does not even exist for AmigaOS?

[Tomas]

avant might be a good alternative though it is built off of IE. but better, don't know if it is open source though, and it is still being developed and updated.

Impossible even if it is open source, considering that it is completely dependent on IE. Avant is afaik just IE with another frontend and some extra addons.

Sputnik runs on Amiga 4000 and A1200. I use it almost every day.

Amiga running MorphOS i guess? I was talking about AmigaOS though..
The thread starter talked about AmigaOS running under emulaton on a PC.

But anyways... with that reasoning you already have Firefox running on Amigas, since it runs under linux  :-P
