Out of sheer curiosity.. how does SeaLion run on a G3 under Linux? Is it unusable? But yes, I'd also love to see it ported to PPC OS X and Intel Snow Leopard if anyone has the time and capacity to do so. I like the classic FireFox design a lot.
I can't speak for SeaLion specifically, but in my experience it's fairly difficult to get anything beyond a minimalist setup functioning on a G3. Even X11 is pushing it. Granted, my only experience is sub-400MHz so the later revisions (or even the B&W PM) might change that game. I think the game changer for the G4 really is the AltiVec, besides the increasing MHz in general. I do wonder how Linux or BSD would compare on one of those 900MHz G3 IBooks compared to a low-MHz G4, though. Maybe a fun test for anyone with a more extensive collection that me!
I saw someone post an image here of SeaLion running on their G3, but I don't remember them discussing anything about performance. SeaLion definitely can run on a G3, but I'd still imagine it would be at least a bit heavier than the TFF based browsers due to its more modern engine not to mention the Linux distro on top. As great as Aquafox is, and it runs great on later G4s and up, it still chugs on a G3.
Intel Leopard (Tiger too, for that matter) is a bit of a red headed step child. Any reason you’re running it and not Snow Leopard? Asking because a lot of these newer softwares for x86 are typically targeted to SL and can’t run on T or L.
Working for me on G4. Great work here, I can even login to Microsoft outlook (very slowly) and browse email, which I couldn't do under Powerfox. Although I suspect that's due to it's user agent, whereas this browser identifies itself as modern Firefox.
That’s because i updated OAuth2 in the mail code. Might not work with gmail, but outlook and yahoo should.
Just an FYI for PowerFox, switching the user agent for outlook + office365 to the KAIOS string available in AquaFox fixed it for me. It also has the added bonus of giving you a very stripped down mobile interface. String to add is general.useragent.override.outlook.com (and office365.com) and the value for both is Mozilla/5.0 (Mobile; rv:48.0) Gecko/48.0 Firefox/48.0 KAIOS/2.0
Oh, i thought he meant with the built in email client thats part of the “internet suite” in BrassMoneky.
I think its due to lack of JIT causing loading issues with login websites. Sometimes refreshing will fix it and cause the assets to finish loading.
I got the "do you want to keep loading this script" message and I clicked yes. It took a long time to load but, finally got icloud mail to load.
A function JIT will be a gamechanger. It won't make a G4 and definitely not a G3 fast, but it'll significantly help. And a fast G5 with a supported graphics card will be legitimately daily drivable (if you don't mind insane electrical bills haha), and it can double as a space heater during the colder months.
I uploaded it to BM’s github here: https://github.com/wicknix/brass-monkey/releases/tag/33.9.1
I don't have a copy of snow leopard and when i try to update the updater says up to date.
Thanks!! This worked Great and now my old Imac is browsing again!!
