I installed WRP on my laptop and am currently using discord (yes, really)
in the classilla browser. It's not perfect, but it works.

Could you post the file or a working link to it, as well as installation instructions?
I was not able to find these. Thanks!
PowerFinnrich:
Hi,
I had some problems with the installation, too.
But this is what you have to do:
1. Download the WRP application.
2. Download Google Chrome/Chromium.
3. Put the WRP application into the same folder as chrome.exe/.app/...
4. Run WRP.
5. Startup your Macintosh and open Classilla.
6. Open the url (ip adress of your pc/pi + :8080),
for example: 123.456.789:8080
7. Have fun with WRP and Classilla!

Thanks for your post. I hope it helps somebody else, even if it was useless to me.

Hello,
I found this new thing called "browservice".
Although I could not test it because I do not have a Raspberry Pi or the time to handle this more difficult setup,
it looks pretty awesome and much more useful than the WRP.
Here is a video of browservice used with Mac OS 9:

And the github page of this project:

I'm confused by this thread.
Some of the links quoted don't work, but I found a WRP ReadMe which says "This machine should be pretty modern, high spec and Google Chrome / Chromium Browser is required to be preinstalled."
So it appears to be useless for my classic Macs, despite practically every OS getting a mention in this thread!
