That is pretty neat.  I will have to try setting it up with an older
browser.  They also have a custom, apparently up to date, browser for older
Windows versions (98+).  It sounds like they mainly deal in restored
historic websites.  They didn't mention how the process works with modern
sites, so I will be interested in finding out.
 
I have noticed that Firefox on a lower-powered modern machine, like an
older Raspi or clone, tends to choke on some modern sites (and even crashes
the machine).  I am curious to see if using this service with Firefox or
Links2 (which often cannot really load modern sites like startpage.com)
will improve my luck there.
 
Also want to try it on an older machine with an older os.  They mention a
DOS web browser called Microweb that was updated as of 2023.  ;)
