AWeb browser

This page was last updated at: Aug 25, 2026

AWeb is a Desktop web browser that runs on Amiga OS. It has been developed for about 30 years since launching in 1996.

In May 2026, a comprehensive fork and update to AWeb was released by the Amigazen team.

AWeb 3.6 is a big undertaking which modernizes the classic AWeb browser for the Amiga platform. There have been many hundreds of bug fixes and improvements, and it looks like this release sets the stage for a actively maintained web browser for Amiga OS. It's an exciting time.
