Show HN: MacSurf, a web browser port of Netsurf for Mac OS 9 with native TLS

• rekabis 4mo ago
  Too bad it’s not both TLS 1.2 and 1.3… and yet… holy shit. I have a 2002 mirrored drive door G4 with dual 1.25Ghz CPUs - the last fully compatible with 9.2.2 directly on the iron - and I’ll be eagerly trying this browser out when I set it up later this year.

    YET for sure, I will be working on that as well. I've done well with not assuming what is possible so far, so I will keep that attitude.

    I can now say it's also 1.3.

  What a cool project! The homepage for this is really quite slick, and gives me some nostalgia for the Mac OS 9 days (maybe it's just the font choices in places): https://macsurf.org/ https://macsurf.org/ While I tend not to use Mac OS 9 much anymore, I do have a Pismo G3 that runs it and still has a 9.x install, so I might give this a go sometime. I'm definitely interested in being able to make old machines useful. NetSurf itself is also very cool. I often run it even on my modern ThinkPad X1 machines when checking the compatibility of my websites, or just for a calmer browsing experience.

  Man, I would love an up to date version of Cyberdog!
