Would it make any sense to use open source browser like Mozilla and port it to Amiga?

Try a quick search of mozilla, firefox and amizilla. Considering nothing has ever come out of these projects I'd say "no". It's just too large project for the amount of active skillful developers left.

For example AmiZilla started somewhere in 2003 I believe, and now 5 years later it hasn't really progressed much. It wasn't exactly hard to predict however.

But something much simpler than Mozilla would be possible. It'd still be pretty darned slow, however.


Who the hell screwed up the Internet and made it so demanding to view it in the first place? (no need to answer rhetorical questions)

Wasn't there also an attempt to port Opera?  I thought it was supposed to be a light weight browser when it first came out.

Maybe there would be more interest today than there was in 2003 since it is obvious that AInc. or any other company is NOT going to provide an Amiga browser, the community is going to have to do it.  I guess I should just go join the Open AWeb team and see what way I can help.
How are you helping the Amiga community? :)
