Description

Modern web pages can be made usable from older or historical browsers through a compatibility service. It is useful for retro-computing, preservation, testing, and setups where an old browser cannot handle current websites directly.

This is a browsing bridge that may run a local service and fetch remote web content. Be careful with private logins and sensitive pages, because traffic and rendered content pass through the compatibility layer.
