And how good is the best browser available?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origyn_Web_Browser

It is based on webkit. Why it's not as good as safari or chrome?
Why it can't render google documents or gmail?


The name "OWB" for Fab's MorphOS browser is really confusing and should obviously be changed ASAP. This is nothing like "OWB" on OS4 or AROS. In fact, I think there isn't much "OWB" left in it at all...

It's a webkit based browser (*the same* engine as in Safari and Chrome), capable of HTML5/CSS3, javascript, etc. It's heavily inspired by Ibrowse, it's very feature rich and since it's a real MUI4 application it looks and behaves in a way that any Amigan used to Ibrowse simply loves! :)

You can easily use this as your single, true, everyday web browser. Everything works, Facebook, Google Apps, etc.

Heck, even the online version of Microsoft Office works! ;)

The only, single set back I can think of, is the rather poor Flash support, but that is not a unique issue for MorphOS, and at least when it comes to video/utube there are nice workarounds...

MorphOS is Amiga done right! :)
