RE: A modern browser on Irix
This whole subject is like five years out of date ... since about fireflop 4 there has been no chance. Not because of the SGI hardware, because the web is currently a piece of shit and getting worse by the day.
It's 1995 all over again, google is taking over our lives and there's not even a micky to put up a fight. Firefox now has something like a 5% market share ? That pos "chrome" is over 65% ? No wonder nothing works and most places don't even have a working email address to send a note "thanks for the lovely notice 'my browser is too old', you can keep your effing product and even jam it up your ass if you like".
If dodoid makes something better that'd be cool but otherwise, rdp works fine. Forget about building an Irix browser, it'd be easier to build a rational worldwideweb*.
