Just donated to the bounty. When the browser is completed I will definitely install AROS on my PC. Hopefully the installation process will be slightly easier then too.

Neil reworked the installer couple of months ago, it's very easy now to do installs, IMO.

I noticed that the first phase of the installer was complete, which is great. AFAIK there are a couple of bugs left to iron out. The completion of Installer Mk2 Phase II would be very useful due to all the partitioning options. Regardless of how straightforward the install is, I'm waiting for the browser before I use AROS. I'm an Internet junkie and I need OSs that can give me my fix! :-D

I'm guessing a port of Firefox is asking too much!?


Probably asking too much for a single programmer. However, if the Gecko rendering engine is ported then you would be one step closer to Firefox on AROS.

Firefox would be nice and all, especially with all the brilliant plugins (I've got around 14 installed, some of which are invaluable). However, any web browser program with modern features is going to be a huge bonus for AROS. I imagine it would be a useful template for a new OS4 browser too.
