A beta of Mozilla for AmigaOS 3.x exists. But the guy working on it has lost interest I think, or doesnt have time for it. Maybe this will motivate him? I hope it does. A good browser will be one massive reason to not have to use my PC.

"No. I had a good version running on OS3.9 but
the mosdev mailing list was stillborn when I
posted it - it seems.

If I get time, I might ressurect it and bring it up
to the latest M release level and throw it onto OS4
as a freebie port. "

"Erm, yes, I've posted about this quite frequently in
the past and no one has taken me up on the offer
of taking it on - being too subtle I guess. I seemed to be the only one doing any actual work on it so I stopped.

Its slow, buggy ( early M codebase ), and needs a lot
of graft to get to something that I would be proud of.

It is sitting on the machine to the right of where I am typing at the moment which is sans one broken motherboard. "
