I have OS 9 with MSIE 5.1 running, with working internet connection.
Tell me a website and I will get a screenshot, if it loads.

Oh wow this really takes me back
>>54776731
4chan loads, but not the recaptcha, also everything is fucking red for some reason.
Tell us how you accomplished this.
slither.io
>embossed background
>lots of decorative lines
Man os9 was pure gold
>>54776743
The images are fetching (see image) but then the web gets stuck on white. It never loads a word.
Probably some ad javascript that never loads, who knows.
>>54776731
Let's see arstechnica
>>54776769
SheepShaver is not that hard to get running.
However, get an internet running there took me a few hours.
>>54776731
Install netscape/mozilla
>>54776777
Clicking on the icons does nothing
youtube
>>54776731
YouTube
>>54776826
and twitter, facebook, tumblr, ect
>>54776731
Try apple.com
And how about bing

You fucking retarded? only the useless mobile versions would partially work
>>54776878
Are you? Nobody implied they would work.
>>54776877
I clicked on the Infinite Loop link, to read about Apple.

>>54776877
Innerstring. Gonna have to get my blueberry iBook off the shelf and try a few sites out.
>>54776907
Appropriate. Thank you.
>>54776787
was this the closest thing we got to a art-deco DE?
>>54776895
They wouldn't really work either.
The only site that I tried that somehow works is Google (the web search) plus image search. Those work fine.
Facebook fails to load entirely (both https:// and http:// version, including the mobile ones).
>>54776956
Wonder if duckduckgo works?
>>54776731
macintoshgarden.org
It eats shit even on Classilla.
>>54776769
>buy an old Mac for $20
>connect a cable to the back of it

It's not that hard. Even my 25 year old Quadra 700 sports 10base-T and all I had to do was install a control panel to get on the internet with it.
>>54776956
YouTube doesn't load either.
Probably using too fancy encryption.
http://www.openbsd.org/
>>54776997
Twitter fails to load too.
Well. This is less fun than I thought it would be.
kernel.org
>>54777022
I bet macLynx, even the old OS 9 version, would connect to more sites.
>>54776909
Skipping tumblr, it also fails to load entirely.
GNU looks... fine.
>>54777053
I might install more in the future, but I am too lazy to hunt the old version and install them and deal with issues right now.
More GNU since I like how it is kind of readable.
>>54777082
Looks about like it always has. See Slackware.com for a similar cohesion of design over time.
Try icab
>>54777100
Well this sucks though
http://www.templeos.org/
Duckduckgo fails to load.
Apple.com gets stuck on loading something and crashes the whole machine with a beachball, dammit.... ok now it unstuck, but never finishes loading it.
bing.com is a grey blob.
Macintosh garden is Error 403.
OpenBSD... finally something that looks exactly the same!
>>54777202
Forgot the picture
>>54777202
Hey what about zeldman.com or joeclark.org they've always been hardcore about web standards and fallback accessibility and such.
>>54777127
Yep, glorious as always. Except for the youtube errors.
I am out of website requests, so I will now try to install more browsers, maybe I will have better luck.
So, first Netscape Navigator. Not sure if it is an upgrade or downgrade.
>>54777258
based terry
>>54777257
>zeldman.com
well, it is zeldman.com indeed.
>>54777301
God damn. Sure as shit is.
I think their site is simplistic enough to at least load correctly but the javascript will probably fuck it up
>>54777301
but to be frank, except for the GIANT headers and badly loaded pictures, the text is readable just fine.
>>54777258
Classilla is the only choice if you're actually looking for a better browser to continue the website thing.
But that would be boring, since Classilla has pretty good support for most sites.
>>54777345
I'd expect that. Images are just giant everywhere nowadays. What res are you running, 800x600?
http://motherfuckingwebsite.com/
http://bettermotherfuckingwebsite.com/
https://thebestmotherfuckingwebsite.co/
>>54777348
Classilla cheats a bit as well though, if there's a mobile version of the site available it will request it so it doesn't have to render the full page.
>>54777348
iCab is probably the most feature complete, latest actually developed browser for the platform.
http://otakuworld.com/
>>54777363
You can see the resolution in the description. I don't know for certain, since the emulated PPC machine crashes when I try to get into screen settings.
Joeclark looks amazing. Almost exactly the same. What the hell, how is he doing this.
>>54777418
more gay shit from Clark
>>54777418
He uses mostly styled text, and ie 5 for Mac was pretty good with CSS (maybe Eric Meyer was a dev then?). Shit, that ain't bad.
And I didn't notice the res, but that's pretty small, but realistically '1999' (though my Mac at the time was at least 1024x768)
>>54777444
Massive opinionated egomaniacal fag, but pretty respectable. And he definitely writes HTML that lasts.
>>54777444
his blog looks good too
And only now I noticed that IE5 actually writes the titles in little bubbles. That looks rad.
>>54777378
The first one
>>54777608
The second one :(
>>54777621
forgot the picture
>>54777512
Heh, I remember missing those ballon hovertext displays when I switched to OSX.
>>54777636
the last one
>>54777655
...but it looks kind of ok if you scroll down.
>>54777412
>otakuworld.com
Looks exactly the same.
Timeless design!
>>54777734
>>54777746
yep
(I clicked randomly)
cnn.com
>>54777785
nytimes.com (not the mobile ones)
It looks better than it is - the page just ends there, there are no stories loaded
>not downloading classilla
Also, how are you taking screenshots. Using the speakable items one and converting it to png is a pain. Or are you using some VM program?
>>54777817
Well it would be boring to show Clasilla, since everything would more or less work, right.

Installing last Netscape for OS 9 now.
>>54777830
As long as it isnt javascript.
Non JS captchas are a bitch.
Apple.com in IE didnt crash my tibook, but it caused the fan to kick in before i closed it.
>>54777940
OK, installed.
The browser is much uglier, in my opinion. Anyway, the default is AOL and it doesn't load that well, but it loads.
Let's try all the pages that didn't load in MSIE.
>>54777986
Forgot the pic again.
Oh fuck Netscape Navigator sucks ass.
It's much worse than IE for Mac. Keeps throwing error messages at me and keeps on lagging.
Eh. Gonna stay with Internet Explorer.
>>54778019
Not a bad choice. Remember there was also opera, omniweb, and I think Firebird? Whatever predated Firefox. And of course the oft-mentined iCab.
>>54778134
>Whatever predated Firefox
Mozilla suite
>>54778175
No, there was a forked project that aimed to be a browser only, no mail and Usenet component. It became Firefox. The full communicator side w/mail became Seamonkey.
>>54778199
Phoenix -> Firebird -> Firefox
>>54778228
Oh yeah that's it
>>54776956
uwot? That's surprising. Facebook loads on Links.

I couldn't stand iCab just because I had to stare at this fucking shit in my dock every time I used a pre-10.4/classic system, it's maddening.
Also the experience wasn't that great compared to other options, I don't even think the guy supports it on OS 9 anymore.
>>54776731
does google or yahoo work?
>>54778806
You can still use Google (search engine component) even on early web browsers, their legacy compatibility is incredible.

that is some really nice font rendering. how does that computer handle the pages in load time
>>54778862
not him, but my real OS 9 box usually loads pages in like the 3-15 second range depending on how much of a clusterfuck it is, generally fine if most of what you do is text-based like imageboards, forums and wikipedia
add an "all me" for extra effect next time
>>54778862
Things dont take too long if you have noscript. I havent really used my TiBook for web stuff though. Classilla on OS 9.2.2 is faster to load stuff than TenFourFox on 10.4.11 though.
>>54778900
>>54778990
so.. there is no malware you can get on os9?
so... does that mean I could.. load Windows98 on a shit box and not get malware from browsing the web because 2016?
>>54779025
No, there is, you'll find virus-infected content on the Macintosh Garden from time to time but when people discover it they usually clean it pretty quickly, same goes for Win9x.
But if you're literally getting malware just from browsing the web, you will probably find a way to get owned no matter what you use.
>>54779254
internet used to be so democratic, low resources, you could used it on a pentium at 133mhz, what the fuck happened.
is javascript the answer to that?
time cube
>>54779316
Javascript, more specifically the mainstream's hard-on for overusing it on jobs it's not suited to do, probably a bit of browsers being garbage too.
I often post here from an SGI 540 Visual Workstation with a pair of 500 MHz Xeons. In its heyday, this tech was handling live effects in television broadcasts, huge-ass photoshop/illustrator graphics, scientific simulations and cluttered CAD projects without breaking a sweat, and now it can barely even handle the new captcha's pointless spinning arrows and fade effects, going to some sites will entirely lock up the browser. It's pretty fucking pathetic how shit JS really is.
font rendering looks good

Slashdot. Kuro5hin. Fark. Metafilter. Adequacy.
>>54776940
>was this the closest thing we got to a art-deco DE?
Yeah
And the best findeer/file manager mac has ever had
How we went from os9 to osx with that huge loss in functionality is beyond me
>>54780498
Kaleidoscope was THE fucking shit. It makes MSStyles, GTK themes, etc look like sad jokes because of the sheer level of control it gave to theme authors. Miss it to this day.

>>54779725
Yeah thats the part that baffles me, I have a t4400 it runs everything great, except for a webpage. When I bought it it worked great on the web no problems, and around 2012 pages started sucking ass to load.

>>54779725
I used to run a web site with Perl scripts on a P100. It did database queries on every connection and handled dynamic content with more users than the average modern Wordpress deployment can.
>>54778019
And to think, the trendy thing to do in that day was reject IE and use Netscape.
>>54781564
finally some code correctness
OP here (the thread is still alive, wow)
Well, the main reason why I installed this is that I wanted to try to play the original MYST game (not the new remastered versions).
And it works!

Let's look at the island.

God damn Kaleidoscope is sweet, my OS 9 systems all run the mass:werk NeXT and CDE themes that kick even more ass than the OSes they're supposed to be clones of.
