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. | |
You can get old versions of Seamonkey here: | |
