What Can A G3 iBook Do In 2021?

OMG that Links2 setup is amazing! Thanks for posting this. I know more about what's possible now. This will fly on a G4.
Thanks. It's an extension called Greasemonkey that runs scripts - the one shown is Sebaro's Viewtube, it's passes the source video to FFplay.
I don't understand why the processor gets pegged at 98-100%, you've minimized Tenfourfox, on previous videos ffplay back was very respectable. Does the same thing happen when you use PPMC?
This is the first video where I've used FFplay to stream 360P youtube on a G3 - the video I did on my G3 iMac, FFplay was playing 144P after it had been downloaded.
FFplay is more versatile due to it being contemporary thanks to @alex_free but MPlayer still outperforms it - alas, it's not compatible with the Viewtube script.
Optimal perfomance is achireved by downloading the video then playing in Mplayer.

2021 Youtube (Again....)
This is an update of the method I outlined here: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/streaming-720p-youtube-on-powerbook.2207317/ Moving over to TenFourFox as IceweaselPPC no longer works with this, everything is basically the same but now the viewtubehandler script points to ffplay within...

Very impressive.. i CAN only imagine how this will run on a G4 1GHZ TB with a 512GB M2sata SSD - where do I find those apps at ? I think what i JUST SAW could account for 90 percent of what I use my machine for, though Leopard would be ideal.Part of the answer is in my video

They are TenFourFoxBoxes - you can make them yourself.
FFplay is a script droplet linked to ffplay bundled in PPCMC but I didn't click on it in the video?
iTheater and Links2 are available at macintoshgarden and Protracker is available online.
I also hadn't heard of iTheater, but then I remembered there was this thing called "Google", and I did a search for it, and lo and behold there was a link (about twelve hits down as there are other iTheaters out there too) and found a link to this place called Macintosh Garden. There I found the application I was looking for, and it happened to be uploaded by none other than Dronecatcher himself. I have since used it, and found it quite satisfactory.
I know I am no saint myself, and occasionally I also type stupid things, but at some point this really has to stop. It's reaching rabiz7 proportions.

Does the mighty Google work in Classilla on OS 9 though, for we know that is the only acceptable way of browsing the web? 😂
Does that realistically enable us to do something we can't do in Tiger, or is it just for the heck of it and having About This Mac say 10.5?
It has Time Machine support and ideally if one targets 10.5 with G3 specific instructions, an app should run there.
