    Web browser for Intel OS X

    Thanks for the report. I'll pass it on to the UXP devs as its a rendering issue rather than a UI issue.

    Web browser for Intel OS X

    So i got the itch recently and created a browser based on the unified XUL platform that will run on 10.7 - 12.6. I always liked the seamonkey / netscape navigator UI, so here it is in all its glory. Some themes and popular extensions (that are modified to install) are included. More info can be...

    InfoPPC - A small neofetch based system info app

    A few weeks back i created small neofetch based app for 10.4 - 10.6. You can download it here: https://macintoshgarden.org/apps/infoppc

    Arch Linux on a Black MacBook2,1

    You must not be aware of these then.... Current Chromium for 10.7 + https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy Pale Moon for 10.7 + https://www.palemoon.org/

    You on Mastodon?

    Nope. I gave up on social media 3-4 years ago. The tracking, the ads, the political barf, and what people ate for lunch are not my thing. All i use is IRC, forums, and Discord (because it's similar to IRC, and i can connect to it via an IRC client without using all that electron fluff)...

    It's called XRG. You can get the older versions here.

    2023 PowerPC Challenge!

    Shouldn't be slow on a G5 at all. Heck, it even runs decent on faster G4's (1.0 - 1.67ghz). All i can think of is that you aren't blocking ads at the system level which might be slowing anything web related down. See what a hosts file does here: https://winhelp2002.mvps.org/hosts.htm How to...

    Still works here. Did you install QuickTime 7.7 that was linked on the download page? It is required.

    2023 PowerPC Challenge!

    Yes, if they don't require too many dependencies and actually build on Tiger or Leopard. I don't think i had to change much for the discord plugin to build. I can look in to that MQTT plugin. No promises though. In the meantime, i created a little FB mobile app years ago which i believe still...

    2023 PowerPC Challenge!

    Today i got the old ArcticFox certificates updated to Firefox esr 102's and rebuilt it with a few other fixes. I'd also like to thank @ClassicHasClass for pointing me in the right direction for updating the built-in certificates. I was going about it the hard way. He hinted to a quicker, easier...

    2023 PowerPC Challenge!

    The above is correct. Newer and better codec support. This build has support for 224 audio and 451 video codecs. Neither of the dated quicktime or vlc players comes close to that. It's also built with recent ssl, so it'll stream pretty much anything.

    2023 PowerPC Challenge!

    Today i created a little launcher.app for my mplayer build. You can now just drop a video on to it OR better yet, associate your video files with it to be the default player. Works pretty slick. Added it to the garden link above for those interested.

    Bitlbee-discord: here, here, and how to set up limechat to look like discord here. TenFiveTube: No guide needed. (right click anywhere but the video window for forward/back/reload controls) Recommend v3 for G4 machines. InterWebPPC: No guide needed. (install the linked extensions to block ads...

    2023 PowerPC Challenge!

    Yeah, it's not as efficient as ppcmc, but it comes in handy at times. My DC 2.3ghz G5 doesn't really struggle at all with it even at 720p. Dropping it to 360p and making the window a bit smaller will drop cpu use a bit on slower machines.

    Using Conversation IRC via Bitlbee for Discord chat on Tiger.

    2023 PowerPC Challenge!

    PPCMC is great. However there is another option similar to tenfivetube and it does support live streams. Requires InterWebPPC to be installed to use it. http://macintoshgarden.org/apps/intertube I recommend using it with a G5 and use the FS version if you just want the video window without the...

    2023 PowerPC Challenge!

    Roughly the same for rendering. TFF/IW are 45esr based, AF is 38esr based. Both have updates and patches where applicable, but both will never be 100% capable on todays web. I will say Arctic Fox is quite a bit lighter in file size and resource usage, so it may be a better alternative on slower...

    2023 PowerPC Challenge!

    I started this years challenge by revisiting an old project i once lost due to a HD failure in 2019. I started working on the Arctic Fox port to 10.4/10.5 again and got it 99% usable this time. 15 hours straight hacking, and here is the result to this point in the adventure. You can download...

    RetroZilla web browser

    I'm sure some of you are already aware of this, but with some work i got RetroZilla (originally a win9x fork of seamonkey with TLS 1.2 support added) to build on Tiger. I originally was hoping it would run on 10.2/10.3, but apparently it doesn't (yet). Anyway, still fun to mess with and see what...

    2022 PowerPC Challenge!

    I agree that anything pre-intel should count. Altough i'm not sure how any 68k machine could handle "modern day" tasks. They don't call it a challenge for no reason i guess. ;-) Posted from a 12" PowerBook G4.
