OWB/Odyssey, which are the main browsers on NG Amigas, have supported HTML5 since their beginning (about 2008/2009 or so). We've waited all these years Flash to die and HTML5 to be used more generally, so yes please, more HTML5 content!
In early 2010s OWB (Fab's "MUI-OWB"/Odyssey) did even beat Firefox, IE, and Safari in HTML5 tests! So for once we really were early adopters and never in Amiga world been so close mainstream on internet things. |

AROS is the cheapest, but it isn't 68k binary compatible, so it's a bit of compromise, but then MorphOS has practically the same philosophy with OS4. MorphOS is binary compatible with classic Amiga, even better than OS4, because MorphOS actually runs all kinds of binaries from the classic world out of the box (68k, PowerUP, WarpOS). If you go for used PPC Macs, MorphOS hardware is basically free and as powerful as the very expensive OS4 hardware. You can get the most powerful 2.x GHz G5 machines under 100e, and >1GHz G4 machines for only 20-50e. A lifetime licence for a MorphOS machine is only 79e, so total cost isn't much. And you can try it out for free too. Last edited by jPV; 30 January 2018 at 17:19. |

I don't see the point of supporting HTML5, Flash, Javascript, etc. They are not really useful for much except forcing users to see autoplaying ads and suchlike.
