Even so, he has had to abandon "source parity" with Firefox and go to a "feature parity" because the code they use simply won't run on old Macs anymore Just today they've announced they're removing all legacy add-ons as of October - which will force him to maintain an independent archive of them…at least until theybecome so obsolete they won't function either. Cameron Kaiser works constantly on TenFourFox just to keep it functional. Some things simply cannot be processed without throwing out the whole obsolete underpinnings of the browser and starting over.Įven if you were to start from scratch and build a new OS9 browser, it would probably have to be limited to G4 PPCs and even those would slog through the mush of today's web. the other (possibly bigger) part is that almost all webpages today use and rely on Javascript routines and decryption libraries and fonts and multi-threaded routines and, and and ALL of which didn't exist when the older browsers were built. The security protocols are only part of the problem.
…and then you'd have to have a team working all the time to keep the "proxy" up-to-date.
