Downloading NetSurf

NetSurf is currently in beta. The latest version of NetSurf can be obtained from netsurf.strcprstskrzkrk.co.uk. As these builds are generated automatically from CVS, they are likely to be unstable and may crash your machine.

Different Versions

There are 32-bit and 26-bit NetSurf builds. The 26-bit versions are suitable for any processor up to StrongARM and the 32-bit versions will work on ARM6 and higher. Only the 32-bit versions will run on Castle's IYONIX pc.

The 32-bit builds of NetSurf include https support, although they require more memory.

Requirements

NetSurf requires the SharedUnixLibrary to run. Also, you may need to download the Acorn URI module.
