MacSurf Hits 2.0 To Bring PowerPCs back Online
A new version of the MacSurf web browser, 2.0, has been released to enable PowerPC Macintosh computers running OS 9 to access modern websites. The update improves compatibility with HTTPS and includes features like a history and bookmark manager, though it still cannot support modern sites like YouTube or GitHub due to resource limitations. The browser is available for download from a non-secure website, offering retrocomputing enthusiasts a way to browse the internet on older hardware.
