Origyn Web Browser (OWB) is a discontinued web browser that was synchronized with WebKit and sponsored by the technology company Pleyo. OWB provides a meta-port to an abstract platform with the aim of making porting to embedded or lightweight systems faster and easier.[5][6] This port is used for embedded devices such as set-top boxes, and other consumer electronics.[7][8][9]

OWB has also found popularity on the AmigaOS-like operating systems. Current versions include AmigaOS,[10][11] AROS[12] and MorphOS[13] official ports.

When Sand-labs disappeared, MorphOS developer Fabien Coeurjoly took over and eventually renamed project to Odyssey Web Browser when it did not have any original Sand-labs code left.
