Browservice (Browse Modern Websites on Old Computers) AmigaOS port possible?

amigang · 26 March 2021, 13:09

So came across this little project today, I seen something like this before that turns modern websites into basically a image to allow old computers to access them.

Was surprise however even video/youtube can kinda work with this!

This is what the project says...
"A web "proxy" server that enables browsing the modern web on historical browsers. It works by rendering the browser viewport into images, which are then shown by a JavaScript application running on the client browser."

[ Show youtube player ]

So basically do you think this could work on Amiga too?

wrp is the one I've heard of. I know a few people have used in the past successfully on Amiga browsers. I don't think it uses Javascript at all.
