Origyn Web Browser (OWB) is a web browser that is synchronized with WebKit and sponsored by web enabler Pleyo. OWB provides a meta-port to an abstract platform with the aim of making porting to embedded or lightweight systems faster and easier.[1][2] This port is used for embedded devices such as set-top boxes, and other consumer electronics.[3][4][5]

OWB has also found popularity on the AmigaOS-like operating systems. Current versions include AmigaOS,[6] AmigaOS 4,[7] AROS [8] and MorphOS [9] official ports.

Features

OWB bookmark manager

OWB is a web browser optimized for consumer electronics (CE) devices and embedded system, such as mobile phones, portable media players, set-top boxes (STB) and TV decoders, and various other consumer electronic products such as GPS, home-gateways, Web-radios, digital video recorder (PVR), DVD recorders, wireless devices, etc.

OWB is based on Webkit by Apple, and its ease of porting is based upon a browser abstraction layer called OWBAL. The existence of this abstraction layer architecture dramatically eases the task of integrating OWB in CE devices, resulting in fast and easy implementation on target platforms. The aim of the abstraction layer is to allow CE software producers to leverage extant libraries, instead of needing to port the browser and its full set of dependencies.

OWBAL abstraction is based on interfaces, which are described through abstract classes, and these classes contain only pure virtual methods. No default implementation is allowed.

General characteristics

Odyssey Web Browser

The MorphOS version Odyssey Web Browser is probably the most mature of the Amigalike-OS ports, as it has a download manager and much of the other UI features of a modern browser already separately added by its developer. Version 1.6 (December 2009) sports Adobe Flash SWF player plug-in based on Swfdec, version 1.6.1 has been integrated with web profiling and debugging tool called Webinspector. Since version 1.7 (March 2010), MorphOS version supports also HTML5 tags and media content through FFMpeg.[10][11]

MorphOS release of OWB is also distributed in a Lite version for the minimal computer motherboard Efika.
