Having issues with MacSurf?
I have set up a web page for you to send me MacSurf logs to help with debugging issues and crashes. I also have a version that has much strong logging so we can really see what's going on.
http://macsurf.org/debugs.html - Works with IE 5 or Netscape.
Netsurf seems pretty closed in terms of who they allow to contribute. However, I need to look more into it and not use the excuse that it's "too complicated" to see if they are interested in my bug fixes.
The most annoying bug I was able to fix that is also present up stream was this weird viewport, extra scroll bar, that would appear on some pages. I need to figure out how to get involved with the main repo if they'll have me.
The single biggest change since 1.5 is under the hood: MacSurf's JavaScript engine has been replaced. Duktape (ES5) is gone; MacSurf now runs macQJS which is a QuickJS port for Classic Mac OS and executes modern ES2023 JavaScript natively on Mac OS 9.
Hey everyone! This is my project, I've been working really hard (yes using AI to help) for about two months straight now. I am not just letting it be, I am going to keep tooling with it every day to make it better and better.
The latest version uses real, third-party verified, TLS 1.3 so I am pushing all the limits that I can. Thanks for sharing!
