To answer the original question, even if i'm a bit biased: Odyssey Web Browser (formerly known as OWB for MorphOS). :)
Because it's based on a recent WebKit and supports very well HTML5 standards (including HTML audio/video).

On a classic amiga, it would be of course very memory hungry, but not that slow, at least when disabling javascript. I think UAE users might find it interesting, if anyone was motivated enough to port it to OS3.x. Anyway, it's already ported to AROS/Zune (with serious limitations), so it might happen someday that it comes to 68k arch.

For those who don't know Odyssey because they don't own MorphOS or OS4 hardware (even if the version available on OS4 is quite old and incomplete), here are a couple old screenshots: http://fabportnawak.free.fr/owbshots/

End of advertisement. ;)

Get URL whenever I need to DL a specific file through UAE. I use the PC for the rest.

@chris

I tried several of the dev builds and every one croaked with a DSI error.

I'll use NetSurf 2.9 :)

Update For some reason, the dev builds don't like URW Palladio fonts.
Launched ok after I got rid of the URW Palladio fonts ...
but launched fine after all fonts restored to normal.
Perhaps it finished scanning the fonts files after I got rid of the URW Palladio fonts ...
but I am not sure if it even scans the fonts files now after everything is back to normal.
