Tenfourfox crashes 10.5.86/15/2023 ![]() I will now turn my attention to learning more about Framebuffers and Codewarrior in preparation for an OS 9 assualt. Will not be my browser of choice for 10.5.8 anytime soon, however that right now is Leopard Webkit. My first impression of Netsurf for PowerPC: Not anywhere near as fast as webkit, most pages do not render perfectly, but all and all its not a bad little browser. That being said, the latest version of InterWebPPC works quite well on my iBook G4, which has half the RAM of your iMac, compared to vanilla TenFourFox & especially Safari 4.1.3. I haven't used iTunes in so long that I forgot my login! So, pages will load slower than they would in, say, the latest version of Safari on a M1 MacBook Pro. Makes Leopard specific patches (Leopard version only Compiles the code Drops the fully built web browser on your desktop If you have a Quartz compatible video card, it will ask if you want to. You will also have to have an iTunes account or register a new account with the mothership to download Xcode. To say this is an inelegant solution is putting it.mildly. Xcode sets the MIME type of the CSS for Netsurf, without which the browser crashes on startup. Update : A little more digging on UK Netsurf forums and I've discovered no compile of Netsurf 2.7 for PowerPC is needed, however to even use it you need to download and install Xcode (3.1.3 is what I could find) from Apple's developer site. ![]() Works.who knows, maybe.dare I even say it.a Mac OS 9 port?Īll hail Classilla, but if there is any OS in desperate need ofĪnother browser option its the classic Mac OS. I'll move over to build it for PowerPC Linux as well. This means that while the base system was built off of the rock-solid foundation of Mac OS X 10.5.8, as many parts and components as possible have also been transplanted from Mac OS X 10.6.8, in. ![]() I've downloaded the source code and am making it my first attemptĪt a compile, wish me luck. PowerPC port of Netsurf, its a couple generations old but despiteĮverything I could throw at it I couldn't get it to run on my ibook Ultimately not a bad thing for a third tier OS. Netsurf runs onĪlmost every OS on the planet (though not on well on Windows,Īpparently) and will even run in a framebuffer, with no operating I had only vaguely heard of the RISC OS, its a fascinating UKīased operating system dating back to the 80's. Quite hot and bothered when I happened upon Netsurf, a open sourceīrowser built primarily for the RISC OS with its own renderingĮngine. Platform we need all the browser we can get.
