Had we already forgotten about Retrozilla? 🙁

yeah but does it perform better than the three? and does it run on 486?

Surfing on a 486 would be a interesting experience. Very frustrating, but interesting. 🤣

A more serious interaction with the modern web from a 486 would need a proxy and another computer to feed images/secure data/etc back and forth, probably as a jpg/gif imagemap.

FUCK "AI". It is a tool of fascism. We do not need it. We do not use it.

On The time that I used browsers with pmmx 233
IE was faster, not 100% compatible but ok.
Firefox was a rock slow but it worked with every website
Opera was even slower than Firefox D:

I remember I tried to open Firefox, it actually worked well, but hell, when I pressed the search button, more than 10 minutes to load ;--;

Retrozilla 1.1 works pretty well for me on AMD K6-2 450 with 256MB RAM & AMD Duron 650 with 512MB RAM under windows ME, don't think you'll find anything better to be honest, at least not till Retrozilla Ver2. Before that I used Seamonkey, that was great but was left behind, retrozilla is I believe a follow on.

Best,
Chris

I have a problem with Retrozilla not having any up to date CA certificates. Is there a recommended fix?
