IBrowse was an MUI-based web browser for the Amiga range of computers, and was a rewritten follow-on to Amiga Mosaic, one of the first web browsers for the Amiga Computer.[2] IBrowse was originally developed for a company called Omnipresence, now defunct. The original author has since continued development of IBrowse.

IBrowse supports some HTML 4, JavaScript, frames, SSL, and various other standards. It was one of the first browsers to include tabbed browsing as early as 1999 with IBrowse².[3][4]

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

IBrowse has not been available for sale to new customers since April 2007 when its distributor quit the Amiga market,[5] although existing v2.x users can download and install the demo version over their existing installation in order to access all functionality.
