'''IBrowse''' is a [[Magic User Interface|MUI]]-based [[web browser]] for the [[Amiga]] range of computers and was a rewritten follow-on to [[AMosaic|Amiga Mosaic]], one of the first web browsers for the Amiga Computer.<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Bettinson|first=Mat|date=November 1996 |title=Battle of the Browsers, IBrowse 1.0|magazine=CU Amiga |publisher=EMAP|issn=0963-0090|issue=81|pages=54–56}}</ref> IBrowse was originally developed for the now-defunct company Omnipresence. The original author has since continued development of IBrowse.

IBrowse supports some [[HTML]] 4, [[JavaScript]], frames, [[Transport Layer Security|SSL]], and various other standards. It was one of the first browsers to include [[Tabbed document interface|tabbed browsing]] as early as 1999 with IBrowse².<ref>{{cite magazine |last=Drummond|first=Richard|date=December 1999 |title=AFCD46, IBrowse 2.1 Demo|magazine=Amiga Format |publisher=Future Publishing|issn=0957-4867|issue=130|pages=83–84}}</ref><ref>{{cite magazine |last=Němec|first=Luboš |date=November 1999|title=IBrowse 2.1|language=cs|magazine=Amiga Review|publisher=Atlantida Publishing|issn=1211-1465|issue=50|pages=16–18}}</ref> However, it does not support CSS.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.ibrowse-dev.net/faq.php#Q19|title=IBrowse - FAQ|website=www.ibrowse-dev.net}}</ref>

A limited OEM version of IBrowse 2.4 is included with [[AmigaOS 4]].

Between April 2007 and August 2019, IBrowse was not available for sale to new customers since its distributor had quit the Amiga market,<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.amiga.org/forums/showthread.php?t=46919 | title=IOSPIRIT GmbH quits the Amiga market | date=23 March 2007 | access-date=12 July 2011}}</ref> although existing v2.x users could download and install the demo version over their existing installation in order to access all functionality. Starting with IBrowse 2.5, new purchases can be made directly from the developer's website.
