Over the last year or two I have noticed a resurgence of interest |
|
in gopher, with a number of new gopher communities springing up |
|
that provide gopher hosting at no cost to anyone who wishes to |
|
use the services. |
|
|
|
The flip side of this increased interest in gopher is the |
|
decreased support for gopher in contemporary web browsers. |
|
Firefox removed native gopher support with version 4, but you |
|
could always add it back by installing the OverbiteFF add-on. |
|
That changed when Firefox released version 57, which is no |
|
longer compatible with the add-on. |
|
|
|
Current work-arounds include the OverbiteWX add-on, which |
|
integrates access to the Floodgap gopher proxy into recent |
|
versions of Firefox. Another option is to use the Seamonkey |
|
browser since -- at least for the time being -- it is still |
|
compatible with the OverbiteFF add-on. Depending on which OS you |
|
are using, you may be able to use an old version of Seamonkey |
|
that had *native* support for gopher. I have Seamonkey 1.1.19 |
|
installed on a Windows 7 machine. I use that Seamonkey |
|
installation exclusively as a gopher client. |
