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

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.

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...

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...

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.

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...

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.

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...

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...

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...

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...

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.

Glad to hear it. For good measure... Probably do the webm disable on interweb and arcticfox as well (just in case you run across embedded video if you happen to be using either of those browsers). Cheers

@Action Retro You might be interested in this when you do another void64 install. I created an xbps package that will install 4 good mozilla based browsers. (the ones with mostly correct colors) No more manual install trickery. https://randommacstuff.blogspot.com/2022/02/ Cheers

I got YouTube working natively (without any scripts or extensions) with Firefox Quantum on both Void and Adelie Linux. See my ppc challenge posts on my blog for the how-to. Cheers

It does, but you have to use a mobile user agent override. This works for me with InterwebPPC: Mozilla/5.0 (Linux; Android 11; SM-A426U) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/89.0.4389.105 Mobile Safari/537.36 Either use a user agent switcher extension, or create the override in...

@Action Retro I figured i'd see if i could help with Adelie's lack of sound, so i fired up the Mate version of the live dvd on my G5 to check it out. Here's how i got sound. All of this is done as root user (su) modprobe snd_powermac (loading this kernel module may or may not be needed, but i...
