Breaking: Pale Moon web browser ported to 68k Macintosh platform.

Washington D.C: An open source web browser known as Pale Moon has been ported to the 1989 Macintosh SE/30 rocking a 15.667 MHz processor. This work was done by the United States government. According to representatives this was done so they could put off a system upgrade for at least ten more years, saying they had more important things to do, such as rehabilitating Major Biden, the president's dog who has bitten secret service agents on a daily basis. An official said: "This is nothing new to us. We are really good at postponing technical upgrades."


Yes this post is complete satire. Hope you got a good laugh!

Batman, please keep your political references and political parody to a minimum.

Did you know that moral outrage triggers the pleasure centers of the brain? It's unlikely you can actually get addicted to outrage, but there is plausible evidence that you can become strongly predisposed to it.

Sorry. It was meant to poke fun at government in general, not just one party if that's what you're thinking.

I think you mean Classilla. Yes, I have heard of it. It was for Mac os 9 on PowerPC Macs, which are actually newer than Motorola 68k Macs (a modern graphical browser for those would be impractical, if not impossible). Its development has halted though. I think it was fairly functional in its early days. I suppose as time went on, the web was advancing too fast for its developer to keep up, since even from the beginning it wasn't exactly up to date.
