But is a browser really feasible? Sure, a text only browser might; but I'm talking about a real browser that let's you see graphics and forms too.
iCab once supported older 68k Macs, but they haven't released a version for System 7 in ages. I've even written to them multiple times about this, but my words have fallen on deaf ears. iCab is so buggy though that I can't use it on my SE/30.
After comparing every single browser (including the text only ones) on my SE/30, the best I've found is Netscape 2.0. It doesn't support some features that 3.0 does, but Netscape 2.0 is "wicked fast" on my SE/30.
So if a browser is indeed in the works, it would be nice to see something on order of Netscape 2.0 for System 6, especially in terms of speed. But I think that a browser of that magnitude on System 6 may not be possible. If it was, then why didn't Netscape make it compatible with 6 & 7? And again, there would be hundreds if not thousands of man-hours involved. True, it would be one of a kind and truly "wicked fast" because System 6 is so much faster than 7. But again, the effort required to bring it to the light of day may be overwhelming.
