I absolutely agree to this statement.
If some of my statements above sounded hard or something it may be that english is a foreign language to me. I just wanted to ask for exactness. As pointed out it is not the hardware that is limiting us, but the missing well coded webbrowser. It is also not Mac OS 9 in this case itselve but the user application that is not developed further since 2008.
Perhaps I am often frustrated because of all that posers the last 15 years who didīt not really use their Macs, but always argued against Mac OS 9.
Back on toppic; I really belive that we should try such "community activities" in future to keep our OS more up to date. Perhaps we could try with iCab now. If every registered member here would throw in 10 bucks that would perhaps lead to a good up to date iCab version. Perhaps it is a bad idea and we should collect for a further coder who cares about Classilla?
There are many possibilities, but we can change something if we like. I really belive there are 20k users and that is a good basis for a stable and up to date niche system.

I can't agree more Mr. Matt. I would pay up to $20-$30 for an up to date Macos9 browser no problems. We just need our group to come to the party and get it done by whoever would like to give it a try thats all.

While I like the idea of improving iCab, we MacOS9 users in 2015 should think who is already helping us.

ClassicHasClass is building http://www.floodgap.com/software/classilla/, the more updated browser for OS9.
--- Quote ---Classilla sure needs users: users appear in server logs, and remind site owners that the whole world isn't using Windows or Internet Explorer. But to continue to advance, Classilla needs contributors -- and you can help out even if you don't know the first thing about developing for OS 9.
Can't code in C or OS 9, but you know a lot about HTML and CSS? Become a distiller and help turn malfunctions into test cases, so that coders can devise specific, targetted fixes. Find out how on the Classilla Wiki.
Know enough C/C++ to be dangerous? Become a coder and help integrate Mozilla patches into Classilla, or even write completely new features. You don't even have to know much about Mac programming to be helpful -- if you know CodeWarrior at all, come help out. Find out how on the Classilla Wiki.

He is helping MacOSX PPC with his TenFourFox http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
His blog http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com.es/ is about fighting the advances on Firefox x86/64 and keep using his tools in PowerMacs (OSX) 2015. His last tool TenFourFoxBox http://tenfourfox.blogspot.com.es/2015/11/tenfourfoxbox-because-its-time-to-think.html is interesting.
I navigate normally in OSX (PPC or Intel), download the files, share them in network with OSX and last, boot to OS9 to expand/install. I just browse very little on OS9, to be fair. Just this forum. For Macintosh Garden Stuff I prefer to use OSX browsers too.
