AMosaic

AMosaic was an early World Wide Web browser for the Amiga computer. Developed in 1993 by Michael Fischer, it was one of the first graphical web browsers available for the Amiga platform, which was significant as the Amiga often lagged behind other platforms in terms of software availability during the early years of the internet.

AMosaic supported basic HTML rendering, including text formatting, hyperlinks, and inline images (primarily GIF format). It allowed Amiga users to access and navigate the growing number of websites available at the time. The browser, while rudimentary by modern standards, provided a valuable tool for Amiga users to participate in the emerging online world.

AMosaic's user interface was tailored to the Amiga's operating system and graphical environment, making it relatively intuitive for Amiga users. It also offered basic features such as bookmarking and a history function.

The browser's development was largely driven by the enthusiasm of the Amiga community. As the web evolved and newer, more feature-rich browsers emerged for the Amiga (such as AWeb and IBrowse), AMosaic gradually fell out of widespread use. However, it remains a notable example of early web browser technology and a testament to the dedication of Amiga developers in bringing internet access to their platform. Its historical significance lies in its role in providing early Amiga users with access to the World Wide Web during a critical period in the internet's growth.
