The record

Purpose: SAE is an Amiga emulator written in HTML5 and JavaScript for use in browsers.
Use cases: The project aims to let people play Amiga demos, intros, mods, and games in a browser, and possibly benchmark the browser.
Emulated models: It lists support for A1000, A500/A2000, A500+, A600, A1200, A3000, and A4000/030 models.
Emulation features: It supports OCS, ECS, and AGA chipsets, PAL and NTSC regions, and 68000 through 68030 CPUs.
Media support: Supported floppy formats include ADF, EXT, IMG, DMS, SCP, and EXE; hardfiles can use HDF or VHD formats.
Browser requirements: SAE requires a modern HTML5 browser with capabilities including WebGL or Canvas2D, WebAudio, typed arrays, and FileReader; the page estimates memory use at 200 MB to 1.5 GB depending on configuration and browser.
ROM requirement: Amiga Kickstart ROMs are not included for copyright reasons; an AROS Kickstart replacement is included.
Integrations: The project describes an API and examples for embedding the emulator, but says its API has no written documentation.
Safety: The maker says the emulator runs within browser memory and changes to disk images are not saved physically; reloading the tab resets altered images and configurations.
Privacy: The maker says the site has no third-party analytics or tracking and does not transfer files selected from the user's computer to the internet.
Performance limit: The maker says SAE requires a fast computer and that most AGA emulation needs a super-computer to run in real time; mobile and tablet devices may have too low a framerate.
Format limits: SAE does not support compressed floppy images such as ADZ, FDI/IPF images, compressed hardfiles such as HDZ, or onboard SCSI for A3000/4000.
License: The source code is listed under the GPL license.
Maker: The readme credits Rupert Hausberger as the person who wrote and ported SAE.
