I really think it's mostly a point of memory, I would not like to
spend too much time on trying to compile it, so if anyone has a binary
package (or any archive) for NetBSD-1.4.2/m68k, I'd give it a try on
my 64MB Amiga (68040/40) to see if it's usable with enough memory.

No, that would be the "Geleon" browser, which uses Mozilla's "gecko"
rendering engine, but is aimed primarily at making a light-weight,
fast brwoser.

http://galeon.sourceforge.net/

I think Mozilla is more aimed at "more features, who cares if it needs
a 1GHz Athlon with 512 MB to run reasonably."
