I know this is a dumb ''noob'' question here, but I've been seeing this pop up now and again on these forums, using a Web Rendering Proxy to make the most out of older web browsers on system 7, Mac OS 8, and 9, such as Internet Explorer 5 and Classilla. I get the basic idea, using gif images to display webpages with clickable spots on the image.
What I would like to know is how many of you use it, is it fast and reliable, how to install it and get it working and can you do most basic stuff on the web with it? I know gmail works with it (the full version plus google hangouts, not just the basic html) from videos I've seen but I'd like to know how well it works on an actual 20+ year old machine instead of a Windows 3.1 emulator.
Is it now more or less possible to use the modern web on a 1996 Macintosh Performa with WRP?
