I've heard of quite a few things that "would never happen" on the Amiga platform.  It is a shame I never hear the people who come out with such statements ever apologising when they've been proven wrong, and I don't see that it helps anyone in any way to be so negative about such projects.

Please be so kind as to reread my answer and understand why I am not being negative.

Much.

I'd very much like to see Mozilla/derivative running on AmigaOS.  It may or may not happen.  Despite what has happened to the Amiga industry, it is still going, and products released that people said would never happen (PCI in an Amiga, an example of a claim I remember).  That tells me to not underestimate what is possible.

If another perfectly capable, up-to-date web browser is released, I'd probably be just as happy using that.  Amiga/compatibles *need* an up-to-date web browser, badly.  And it is perfectly possible that the Mozilla port might not happen, but the experience gained from the attempt makes it possible for another browser to be developed.  Who is to say what will happen.
