= Overview =

RetroZilla v2.2 is one of the only open source web browsers that
connect to modern HTTPS websites in vanilla Windows 98. I modified the
source enough to make it work on OS X, so it is now also available for
legacy PowerPC Mac OS X. It unfortunately does not run on 10.2 or 10.3
(yet). 10.4/10.5 are fine.

Note TLS v1.2 (Transport Layer Security) support is not evident from
browser preferences or about:config. To confirm browser capabilities
restart RetroZilla and load this site.

= Rendering Issues =

Most web pages will not render properly due to the age of RetroZilla's
code base and the ever changing internet. One tip that often helps
when viewing a web page that does not format well, or if links are
missing, is to toggle View dropdown -> Use Style -> 'Default Style' to
'None'. Also experiment with different font and color preferences,
select Edit dropdown -> Preferences -> Appearance and modify as
desired.

Web page content sometimes hides between code tags, especially with
JavaScript disabled. This may cause some web pages to render
incompletely or not at all.

= JavaScript Issues =

This old browser is not capable of properly processing most modern
JavaScript code. For safer browsing, disabling JavaScript is
recommended anyway to prevent unauthorized code execution. Most sites
are still fairly functional without JavaScript.

To disable JavaScript entirely, load 'about:config' (no quotes) in
RetroZilla's URL bar and change 'javascript.enabled' to 'false'.
Better yet, install NoScript for more control.

WARNING: RetroZilla is NOT a secure browser, and is provided for
entertainment purposes only. It is a build of a browser from 2007, and
contains most security vulnerabilities found since then. The only
important thing added was the ability to handle TLS 1.2.

NOTE: The source needs to be renamed from .zip to tar.bz2 to extract
and i can't guarantee it'll build you if you try. I had to hack it
together to get it to build, but it's uploaded for anybody interested
in it.

The latest "final" upload includes a mobile UA override, updated
menubar to say RetroZilla instead of SeaMonkey, custom userContent.css
preinstalled, and some nice new default bookmarks on the toolbar.

Added downloads for some modified extensions that seem to work OK with
RetroZilla.
