The Wayfarer web browser continues to evolve as a vital application for MorphOS users, with version 10.2 now officially released. As one of the most actively maintained programs in the MorphOS ecosystem, Wayfarer plays a critical role in keeping this Amiga-inspired OS relevant in a modern internet landscape.
Version 10.2 brings targeted improvements that enhance usability and performance. The update refines HLS playlist parsing, an important upgrade for smoother streaming experiences. It also resolves a specific issue related to handling fragment identifiers in file URLs when opened through openurl.library or ARexx scripts. These fixes, while technical, are highly appreciated by users who rely on precision and reliability.
Developed using ObjectiveC and C++, the Wayfarer web browser is built specifically for MorphOS, enabling it to utilize the OS’s unique architecture. That focus allows Wayfarer to operate with impressive speed and low overhead—key advantages for users running on legacy hardware.
Moreover, this isn’t just a web browser; it’s a gateway that keeps MorphOS connected to today’s internet. With features like video streaming support and a sleek UI optimized for PowerPC systems, Wayfarer continues to stand out among retro computing tools. Each new version extends the life and usefulness of MorphOS by giving users access to modern websites without needing to dual-boot or switch platforms.
Wayfarer 10.2 is more than just a maintenance release—it’s a sign that active development is alive and well in the MorphOS community. In an era when most browsers are bloated or drop support for niche systems, Wayfarer remains a reliable, purpose-built alternative.
For MorphOS users, this update reinforces the platform’s potential—not as a relic of the past, but as a system still capable of growing in a modern, connected world.
