MacSurf is a native web browser for Classic Mac OS 9 that brings modern web technologies like CSS3, ES5 JavaScript, and native TLS 1.2 to vintage PowerPC hardware. It's interesting because it revives an obsolete platform with real, working support for modern protocols and layouts, filling a unique gap for retro computing enthusiasts.
