Having it for Amiga OS 3.9 & 4.0 would be best, what does everyone else think?


I think having it for OS3.1 would be best, so we can all use it. Then again, Mozilla is so mind-numbingly slow, no doubt the OS4/MOS people will want a native port...

Having it for every Amiga-like OS would be best. Same source, many binaries.


It never works like that.

Just throw processing power** (and RAMs) at the problem… The PowerPC G3/G4@ 800Mhz (with 68K JIT) is not that slow.

**Also, applicable to JIT-68k AmigaOS (on X86 hardware).


From what I've seen of Mozilla on very fast PCs, throwing CPU power at it makes it usable but not fast. My family would rather use slow buggy IE simply because it actually loads within 30 seconds.
