Stripped Down Search Engine For Old Browsers

Ok, after doing much thinking and coming to some reality, since YouTube never really worked on OS 9 to begin with, the idea comes to mind - who needs it ? But, we can do other web browsing with OS 9 which will allow us to browse the internet lightly - what am I saying ? Just that ! We don’t need YouTube and from my point of view Google seems to just want to kick off the old browsers from YouTube permanently - I agree with this, BUT — If we can get somehow TLS 1.2 installed into either Netscape, Icab, opera, or Classila that will at least allow us to lightly browse most of the non YouTube internet and still enjoy retro like browsing.. let’s leave YouTube for our phones, modern computers.. I know this is possible because most websites out there are text based anyway ? Not that I support CNN, but is it possible to access a text only version ?
Possibilities to think about for light browsing as the Win 98, 2000, XP can still do most of these with Palemoon and Kernel EX.
again, YouTube was bad on Os 9 to begin with.. let’s do light browsing.. it’s good Leopard still allows us to browse YouTube - BUT RETRO isn’t about watching YouTube and certainly today’s Macs aren’t about it either - we have lost the true meaning of what a computer is.

my snow leopard ssd drive omits such fallacies such as you tube and news media websites.this is the beauty and enjoyment of the OSX!
Not loading photos on various websites make me realize the SL party is over tho.
In my opinion, the YouTube comments section from 2006-7 was the Wild West. I usual find mostly good comments these days. Back in the day it was just painful to either comment or read other comments.
Are you referring to not able to load pics from a website, or not being able to use YouTube ? I have Snow Leopatd on my Mac Pro and YouTube works for now.. but my point is regarding retro Macs, PowerPC Macs where they can still be resourceful with light browsing of the web.. we can already do most of this and YouTube under Leopard, but I am more into pre-OSX web browsing for light uses..
Sl and Mountain lion is missing the java script or code that show icons like upload, notifications and other images to run many websites on Firefox legacy. Opera seems to show these icons but not in snow leopard.
i dont watch youtube so i would not know.
