While you can browse on an Amiga, it will not be a pleasant experience with only AGA and non powerfull accelerator.

Even on my system (see sig) browsing on more demanding sites is slow; and this unfortunately included eBay. Also newer sites that use CSS won't work. I mainly use my ethernet to connect to my PC with FTP.

If you have a PC use that for browsing; use FireFox if you feel insecure about IE. And always use virus and spyware protection.

Concerning using ShapeShifter for browsing; that redefines slow!! While primitive the Amiga browsers are faster than the Mac 68k counterparts (iCab, IE 4.0 and Netscape 4.x). I never tried the IE and Netscape 3.x versions but I think they would be even more primitive than the Amiga browsers.
