Web Browsers
« on: February 04, 2008, 04:00:32 PM »
I'm sure this has been asked before.....

Is there any hope of a modern type Web Browser on the 68k Amiga ?

I've searched the forums and didn't find much. It appears all hope is gone.

There is a multitude of good software for the 68k Amiga, but the one piece
lacking is a modern type web browser.

I have to beleave it can be done, a browser that will run on a box-stock
68k amiga (an accelerated machine would be a plus).

Maybe the Amiga community could take a lesson from the AROS group.

Offer a Bounty...

I can see why nobody has taken on the project, nothing in it for them.
I'm sure there are still some good coders left in the Amiga community
that are up to the challange, they just need some incentive.
Maybe two or three or more coders could form a group.

If enough people contrubuted (say about $50.00) to the Bounty it should
stir some interest in those skilled coders that are up to the job.
They could perhaps do a 'Lite' version for those who are just looking for
a Freebe and a full version with updates for those who contrubuted or bought
the full version.

I for one would contrubute ........

So as great as it would be, I don't believe it would work.

I agree, it would be a hard one to get going.
These coders with the skills know who the other coders are.

I kind of thought that if a Bounty actually was to come
about, it might be handled by A.Org.

@Merax ...

Just look at the number of users here at A.org ......

For a reasonable price I think most would buy a reasonably
performing Browser. You are correct in saying you can't
satisfy everyone but somthing that runs on say an A500
will satisfy enough ppl to make it worth while.

I would buy ... (I run an acellerated A3k)
