What web browser you use in Amiga?

What web browser you use in your Amiga 68k?

Ibrowse? Aweb? Voyager?

is there a Opera or Firefox version for the Amiga?

Witch one is better?

[TiredOfLife]

Only the 1st three are available for for 68k machines.
Ibrowse and Aweb are the only two currently still in development.
Ibrowse is significantly faster.

Only the 1st one? Only Ibrowse, is there any other browser... for 68k?

Ibrowse is the most advanced I think? That's what most serious people seem to use, but then they had to pay for it.

AWeb for a freeware open source effort isn't too bad. Your not going to be playing Flash video clips in it anytime soon or get perfect page rendering, but it's usable.

Take a look in my ClassicWB pimp video, at about 5mins 11secs, it shows the last stable (non-beta) Aweb surfing the net at TV resolutions (640x256):

Now that is hardcore! :fool:

Obviously it looks a lot more usable at higher res, like 800x600.

Aweb is too slow on a Blizzard 1260.
Might be ok on PPC, I don't know.
Think Voyager might be faster than Aweb, would have to test.
No where near as fast as Ibrowse.
And no longer under development, unlike Ibrowse and Aweb.

That's a nice video Bloodwych. Shows a lot of what Workbench could do. Very well made. :thumbs:

I use both AWeb and IBrowse on my A1200.

They actually look quite nice at the highest resolution with 256 colours (Is it euro72 that gices 800x600 or something? I forget).

At least AWeb can be set to run in it's own screen at any resolution. I have visited the classicamiga forum on AWeb at PAL/Greyscale. I do have IBrowse running in it's own screen, but the choice of resolutions/colours seems to be limited by MUI.

[Tiago]

Ibrowse i have to pay.....
Aweb is free... and it runs on A1200.... i'll try this one in winuae with os3.9 (is it compatible?)

[Harrison]

Yes, Aweb should run fine in OS3.9. Just remember that it isn't as up to date as Ibrowse so will not display most current websites as they are meant to look because it won't render the style sheets correctly, if at all. Ibrowse does a much better job of this.

Ste

How is the IBrowse screen res limited by MUI?
Never noticed any such limitations myself.

[Stephen Coates]

I seem to recall setting the screen resolution in some MUI prefs. And I was not given as many options as I was in AWeb.
