I did it again. Heh. New web browser for ppc32. Based on the latest Basilisk codebase.
Rebranded and given the name "InterWeb". Makes sense right?
Already packaged as a .deb for easy install on ubuntu/debian/mintppc/fienix.
Download:
interweb.20200210.linux-powerpc.deb

For those still using ubuntu12/14 or debian8, InterWeb has been rebuilt on my powerbook g4 and is ready for consumption. Requires libatomic from gcc-4.9 for ubuntu12, but it gives you roughly FF60.9-68.9 web compatibility.

InterWeb has been updated.

Over the last few months powerpc fixes were added to upstream UXP. You can build any UXP application on ppc now, except you still need to swap the icu.dat file around. So changelog will always be the about same as upstream.

It seems there are some issues with YouTube videos if you use the add-on ViewTube. I was able to solve it with the following user agent:
Code: Select all
Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 10_2_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/602.4.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.0 Mobile/14D27 Safari/602.1
You can configure the user agent with
about:config -
Search: useragent.override.youtube.com and set the value to
Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 10_2_1 like Mac OS X) AppleWebKit/602.4.6 (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/10.0 Mobile/14D27 Safari/602.1.
After that YouTube uses the mobile version of their site (
https://m.youtube.com) and this website works with the add-on ViewTube.

I'm doing a couple of things wrong I guess. First I assumed that things like like "Mac OS X" and "KHTML, like Gecko" weren't really part of the command, so I just entered Mozilla/5.0 (iPad; CPU OS 10_2_1) AppleWebKit/602.4.6 Version/10.0 Mobile/14D27 Safari/602.1
Then when I went to Youtube the video I selected loaded quickly but when I played it it came up in the same old weird colors.
So next I tried entering the line just as you show it and this time when I tried a Youtube video it took a long time to load, and when it finally did load it wouldn't play at all.
Correction. I went back to the Youtube tab after writing the above and clicked the play button again. This time it did play, but in the old weird colors.

You need to configure ViewTube first. Please click on the three dots under the video window and select
Embed and
VLC.

Great news!

Didn't realize i hadn't updated InterWeb for 32-bit PPC Linux since last June, so here is a new build.
Download:
interweb-2021.07.26.ubu12deb8.linux-powerpc.deb
Please note: It's not possible to install the new version with
GDebi.
Error message:
Code: Select all
Error: A later version is already installed
It is a downgrade for dpkg because it thinks that the old version of InterWeb is newer than the new one. I tested it on ubuntu MATE 16.04.7 and on Fienix.
You have to install it with
dpkg -i as root.
Code: Select all
# dpkg -i interweb-2021.07.26.ubu12deb8.linux-powerpc.deb
Output:
