This is required because old browsers don’t support many of the features offered by modern browsers and expected by modern websites. When you click on the rendered screenshot, Web rendering Proxy notes where that click was and sends it back to Chromium to update the page and get another screenshot. It works by rendering a modern web-page in a modern Chromium browser, taking a screenshot, and then sending that screenshot to your obsolete web browser which can render it. Web Rendering Proxy is a neat little tool that lets you browse the internet from older devices. Setting up the Raspberry Pi with Web Rendering Proxy I’ve previously tried web browsing with Web Rendering Proxy on a 1993 Windows 3.11 computer, and thought I’d see how the Apple experience stacks up.
For completely impractical reasons I decided to try and browse the internet using my 1989 Macintosh IICI computer.
