Porting Opera or Firefox to the Amiga

[Starrunner]

Today I find myself working out of AmiKit on my Dell from Hell using AWeb 3.5 inside of AmiKit.  While an okay browser, I find that certain sites puke when I go to them.  This got me to thinking, has anyone ever ported Firefox or Opera to the Amiga?  Is there another Amiga browser that might work better than AWeb?  I am asking out of idle curiosity on this one.

No, and it's not going to happen anytime soon. For reasons, search the a.org forums.

Opera isn't open source anyway, so it cannot be just be "ported".

I did not realise Opera is not open source.  I had a couple of friends who raved about it so I thought it was.

I thought that it would be a pain in the buttocks to port anything.

Thanks guys for the infos.  I don't mind using AWeb 3.5 now that I know it's limits.  If I ever get my 1200 on a network connection, it will be the browser.

As an aside, I noted in AmiKit that when you go through the menus options under Internet there is an option that says WinSide.  It shows both IE and Firefox as options but doesn't allow me to do anything with them.  Is there something I am missing on this?
