webone VS InterWebPPC

Just set up something like this?

WebOne - proxy you run on another computer

If you have a secondary, more modern computer, you can run webone proxy to make it a bit more usable.

Check out WeBone - https://github.com/atauenis/webone - a proxy to make the modern Web somewhat more digestible to old browsers.

Now this is interesting. If the OP has a more modern computer (or even a Raspberry PI) he can use WebONE HTTP Proxy

Classilla + webone works well.

Some nerdy details:The open source app is written in MacPython 1.5.2. In order to run it there's a bunch of tinkering required. You need to enable Open Transport Networking (Apple Extras - Network Software selector). You will also need Internet Config 1.4. In there you have to play a bit around with the DNS-settings for it to actually find anything. Furthermore you need to host a WebOne HTML proxy on a modern machine to bypass the SSL-requirement of Mastodon. The latter can be assigned globally in the Internet Config too. To sign in into your Mastodon instance you also may need something like iCap which worked for me to complete the sign in process.Expect to do some troubleshooting (since nothing will work haha) or maybe don't do it altogether since OS 7 is everything but a piece of software you want to connect to the internet.

Worth trying to play around with webone: https://github.com/atauenis/webone

Chris and I released another Forkbomb epsidoe and this one is interviewing famed user Wicknix from Matrumors forum. He is the author of InterWebPPC , SpiderWeb, ArcticFox and more! We discussed several topics such as web browsers , Linux on PPC and video chatting over the internet with iChat AV on Leopard. I hope you enjoy. Would love to hear your feedback!

Probably InterWebPPC, a fork of the now defunct TenFourFox.

Sorry, that’s old, outdated news about the browsers. There’s the ‘new’ InterWebPPC (“Mozilla for Power Macintosh”). Nobody has an excuse for not being able to browse much of the web on OS X 10.4 or 10.5 PowerPC machines today.

The most usable browsers are TenFourFox (RIP), and InterWebPPC, which are both built on top of an older extended release version of Firefox.

In 10.4, you have more options, InterWebPPC is an updated branch of TenFourFox.

As a G5/G4 user myself I recommend installing tenfourfox or interweb ppc on the machine and con netting it to the router or switch with Ethernet as you did. With older browsers some websites don’t work as intended so they spit out some errors. ten four fox interweb ppc P.s. here some advice if you’re using a power Mac not all apps you find work on YouTube there are awesome communities that deal with retro machines and it could be entertaining and interesting follow they’re steps. this one in particular on YouTube is veri interesting and it explains awesome things on old computers and g5s.
