The aptly named Dreamcast Web Browser is a web browser for the Sega Dreamcast developed by PlanetWeb. It was designed for the North American market - Japan and PAL regions were given Dream Passport or Dreamkey discs, respectively, for this purpose instead.

PlanetWeb released several versions of their Web Browser, most notably to incorporate a SegaNet sign-up service after this came into existence in mid-2000. In addition to allowing users to surf the world wide web & send emails, version 2.0 (released around E3 2000) also included Sega Swirl as a full game on the disc. The less common 2.62 version also came with demos of StarLancer, Speed Devils Online, Typing of the Dead and 4x4 Evo.
