| I think this is a mistake, the native browsers have a huge advantage as it is already functional on the amiga. All they have to do is enhance their browsers.
So i think this will have a negative impact on other efforts, but i may be wrong and they might speed up their work because of this.

| Great project! I really wanna Amizilla on amy (or a kick ass Voyager version).
I can't donate because i don't have a cc.
One thing, Amizilla website shoud be updated because it contains some error images align and makes the website look crappy.
Can someone give us a progress report?

| well lets hope its not AWEB that gets developed further , i really HATE the gui on it and its rather annoying to use.
Voyager is morphos only (now , i regged it and i havent seen the updates for 68k which is on morphos)
Ibrowse is the only contender left it seems , but then how's that possible if its an commercial app? and afaik he promised ibrowse 3 to be ppc didnt he?.
anyway i never expected amizilla to be out as fast as it was said on the mailing list + in aga etc , and i hope my money is still valid :)
cheers

| Me too, I hope we don't se the Amiga browsers develop to such a bloated state as Mozilla. I hate the intergrated email and news clients and the slowness of the whole program. If such as news and e-mail have to be included it should be as selectable modules!

There is a standalone version of Mozilla avaliable also, which is called MozillaFirebird, this one does not include mail/news client... This one is not slow either, actually one of the fastest browsers i have used on the x86.. |

The original plan is to maintain the 68k version as long as it is feasible - people want to use IBrowse on Amithlon, WinUAE aswell as some users not moving to OS4/MOS due to not having PPC hardware.
AFAIK, thats still Stefans plan - however its subject to change, of course. I can't speak for what Stefan decides, but that was the original plan. |

| As far as I know (and I did register both Voyager and IBrowse), some of those browsers are commercial projects. Will the "winner" of the money be made freeware? (I'm not thinking free as in "libre" here; I'm thinking free as in beer.)
Will those people who paid to the Amizilla project be happy if Voyager on Morphos gets the prize? |

I've used Voyager and IBrowse but not AWeb, so I don't know how good or bad it is. But it sounds like the one with the best potential; it's opensource, and they're going to use KHTML which is a lot lighter than Gecko for rendering pages. IMO KHTML has a better chance of running on 68k than Mozilla

| Best of luck to all those involved. If we can get an up to date browser, that's just one more reason not to use my Windoze side.
Man, I can't wait until OS4.0 is here and selling well.. It's gonna make me laugh when I look at my friend's PC (who's a former Amiga User) and say 'That Windoze box is just a games machine.'
I seem to remember hearing that alot...
