INTRODUCING AMIBROWSER MODERN WEB BROWSING FOR THE A1200 NG & A600 GS

Read the News Release here

Cardiff, 6th August 2025

After many user requests, a new modern web browser has been developed by Amiga Kit. This new browser runs on AmiBench and offers the most advanced Classic browsing experience to date.

AmiBrowser is an HTML 5 capable web browser built for 68K with Zune/MUI. It uses ARM libraries to power the native rendering of the web pages.

Matthew Leaman, Managing Director of AmigaKit Ltd remarked: “We are pleased that after many weeks of development work we can shortly offer this ground breaking application for the A600 GS and the A1200 NG user base. This has been the most requested application and we are excited to continue our commitment to delivering regular product updates.”

The A600 GS and the A1200 NG computer systems are now available to purchase from AmigaKit.com

Additional Information about the A600 GS and the A1200 NG can be found on these websites:

Eagerly awaiting the release for this. Are there any other updates being rolled out with the next release?

Out of interest, what's that browser based on, is it an AROS bit of kit?

As this is 6 weeks of intense development, there hasn’t been any time for other updates.  This project was large enough.

Makes sense! I guess there's a to-do list of sorts for those smaller improvements?

Any plans to do a PiStorm/Pi version? Possible to sell as a stand alone product perhaps?
Something I would be definitely be interested in purchasing if it came to market.

Just downloaded and tested the browser and am really impressed.

It plays You Tube videos without too much framedrop but I would have really passed out in shock had it played I-Player or any other videos from BBC's website. It doesn't, but I don't intend on using my A600GS for that purpose 😁

Aside from that what a fantastic piece of software and thanks to everyone involved for their hard work. I appreciate it.

Look forward to updates on the downloading files sometime soon.

Amigaone X5000 4GB with Radeon HD 7750 and Amiga OS 4.1 FE Pre-Release

Amigaone 500 2GB with Radeon 5450 and Amiga OS 4.1 FE update 1

Amiga 1200 with ACA 1231/42 accelerator and Amiga OS3.9

Amiga CD32

Is there more information about how the browser works? Looking on various browser ID sites, it seems to suggest it's a Chrome based (138.0.0.0) browser running atop Arm based Linux with X11.
