NetSurf is an open source web browser for RISC OS, licensed under the GPL. Its aim is to bring the HTML 4 and CSS standards to the RISC OS platform. |
|||
Stable releases and development builds of NetSurf are available from the project's web site. Users are encouraged to help with NetSurf's development by testing the development builds and providing feedback to the development team. |

Compared to other RISC OS browsers, NetSurf is notable for its speed and comprehensive support of CSS, as well as novel handling of history. The main feature missing from NetSurf is JavaScript. The RISC OS port of [[Firefox]] and NetSurf are the only RISC OS browsers with active development. |
