Netsurf (been an SDL, linux, whatever port) runs slow on classic Amigas and it hogs a lot of memory. It even lacks javascript support, etc.
AWeb on the other hand is made for AmigaOS. I would like to see this project progressing and a new version without the awful, constant window refreshes, as save2600 said

I was using this option, but it makes scrolling much slower and i disabled it in Aweb and SimpleMail. Some graphics cards like Voodoo's are not affected by this. C/BVisions are, though.

I used to use AWeb all the time, as I had purchased a couple versions of it before it went Open Source.  It is nice to see that progress is still being made on it and I hope that there will also be a native PPC version released some day (if there already is one, I have not been keeping up with the progress being made).

 Versions for OS4 and MorphOS exist since ages. :)

I wish I could get the latest sources of it before April as I would like to look into its UTF8 support. In fact, I failed to found any AWeb APL sources on the net at all!

 there has to be some way to contact the developers. UTF8 support is the most important missing feature for me! I consider it much more important than CSS.
