A native version should be a great idea.
Then, how would you define that bounty? Please modify/criticize the following suggested one:

Port NetSurf current version to Amiga 68k, without using SDL as a base, as it is resource hungry for poor old 68k. The idea is to have a 68k version that it is usable for most Classic Amiga users. If it adds more features like RTG, 040 or 060 native support, etc then the better as long as it runs on what the Proof of Bounty requires.

Proof of bounty completed when Netsurf current, runs on an OCS 68030 (with no MMU and FPU) Amiga with no graphics card and less than 32MB of fastmem, with its GUI entirely MUIfied (MUI 3.8 compatible) and displays http://www.yahoo.com web page. A WinUAE/UAE setup that matches those system requirements is of course, also allowed as a testing proof.

Please add your suggestions. Is it feasable after all? What do you think?

So, do you think it is actually technically feasable to port OWB current or MOS version to run in an OCS 68030 <32MB Amiga? Would you do it for a nice amount of bounty $$$ ?

In the end, do you think there is no solution for 68k users regarding semi-modern web browsing? I mean no half decent browser port can be made? Or is it that it just requires too much effort from a devs point of view to tweak and modify code to make it usable?

well i start to like it. Tested it on AEROS..
This weekend i will check/ try a compile for AmigaOS. Never did it before ; )
But clean Ansi-C should really be straightforward.


Great :)

I wish you success, and good luck
