wrp

> though modern web-browsing is a challenge. (Maybe one that somebody has solved, I haven't dug at all.) The usual solution is to run the real browser somewhere else and remote into it, eg. https://github.com/tenox7/wrp or https://www.brow.sh/

That exists:) https://github.com/tenox7/wrp

You probably want some proxy turning the average bloated page into something more consumable by ancient machines. Also modern TLS tends to be a problem for these old machines. Maybe wrp might help: https://github.com/tenox7/wrp

Another option for the same purpose is the Web Rendering Proxy by Tenox, which can also supports images/js by prerendering the page and serving and image map to the old browser: https://github.com/tenox7/wrp

https://github.com/tenox7/wrp allows you to use modern js as well, as long as you can render images

You might be interested in this web rendering proxy [1] which turns webpages into imagemapped GIFs for use on old systems [1] https://github.com/tenox7/wrp

I use this for retrocomputing, in a way, to be very silly! tenox7's WRP [Web Rendering Proxy] basically runs headless Chrome and renders pages to gif/png/jpg and shoves them back at a client browser. https://github.com/tenox7/wrp

"browservice" will render web pages server-side and then deliver them to your browser as an image with simple javascript. It works in virtually all "old" browsers and can be very useful for older computers. https://github.com/ttalvitie/browservice For very old web browsers, WRP works similarly but replaces the javascript with an imagemap. https://github.com/tenox7/wrp

This is basically what is done in the vintage computer world… https://github.com/tenox7/wrp

With the Web Rendering Proxy (https://github.com/tenox7/wrp) you can also visit bing.com :)

Would https://github.com/tenox7/wrp work with it?

You could use WRP, which renders web pages into giant imagemaps. https://github.com/tenox7/wrp There's also Browservice: https://github.com/ttalvitie/browservice
