Chicago95 VS chromium-legacy

If that's a concern for you, there are themes for GTK3 and GTK4 that replicate classic 3D widgets and remove much of the excess padding in modern apps. https://github.com/B00merang-Project/Windows-95 https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95 (You should install both; Chicago95 is more actively developed, but B00merang gives you a GTK+4 theme that's currently missing from Chicago95.) Works reasonably well as a daily-driver, giving you a similar look to the modern SerenityOS GUI on a standard Linux system. Even the modern GTK+4 "responsive" apps work as designed, with some non-critical graphical quirks.

Chicago was the code name for the development version of the highly anticipated Windows95

Haven’t tried it, but there’s https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95

Might be looking for something closer to this: https://github.com/grassmunk/Chicago95

I bloody want my Linux and apps on it to look like this or something of this flavour. Most retro themes are poor quality shams (Chicago95[1] is the only good one, yet still not perfect). I feel like I would gladly pay serious money for a really high quality conversion of all the parts, including themes for all widget libraries and no quirks.

It works really well.

A niche suggestion if you have all of the time: if you don’t rely on icloud services, you can actually try very old os x like mountain lion + this for browser

If you can do it, I'd go to Lion. It added so many features such as the launchpad, the option to reopen windows when you restarted your computer, etc. It's new enough that Chromium Legacy will work, and it's what I use for my unsupported Mac OS X installs. Unlike Arctic Fox which is essentially pale moon 27 under the hood, Chromium Legacy is fully up to date as of when I'm posting this.

Chromium Legacy goes back to OS X Lion 10.7 and is being actively worked on. It has its limitations compared to the original Chromium (see Readme): https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

I don't use GitHub much so I don't know, so how can you tell how many people are working on a project, like for Chromium Legacy: https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

I haven't tried it myself, but a couple of minutes ago I found out about Chromium-legacy. The description says it's equivalent to current upstream versions of Chromium except for some limitations caused by older OS versions. Viewing DRM-protected content (e.g. Netflix) requires separately installing the Widevine library.
