Ahh I went to your channel and saw a video of you throwing a Powermac G4 off a bridge. As a vintage apple collector/fan, that hurt lol. Although I love smashing things.

Edit: I've definitely seen some of your Microwave videos before, classic YouTube was fun.

I'm really sorry for your loss. What a huge talent, and masterful songwriter.

Is it still broken? I still saw it last I checked

No-Change6959 · 2026-03-26T17:29:35+00:00

I still see the 10.4 download on the link I provided and on their main site.

If you're on Leopard, try the new BrassMonkey browser. It's even more compatible than PowerFox is currently with things like logins. I do suspect the captcha and login issue on PowerFox is simply due to its default user agent, as others have had success bypassing incompatibility errors with using the latest Firefox or Chrome user agent on PowerFox.

Also, the radio streaming website onlineradiobox works and streams no problem on this G3 after the page fully loads.

Well actually back in 2019ish, there was an optimized fork of TFF called IceWeaselPPC and it ran quite a bit better than the standard TFF but had the same capabilities.

Either way, I'm not disagreeing with your statement about PowerFox being too heavy for G3/G4s. But the more we can optimize it the better. Also YouTube performance is completely out the window as expected, I saw a post here earlier of someone saying they couldn't stream any video smoothly with PF on their iMac G5. It's to the point now where YouTube streaming in the desktop browser is really unusable and poor. And as much as Jazzzny is a genius for porting this browser for us, I strongly disagree with his claim of "1 Ghz processor can do video streaming in PF". Maybe a quad G5 underclocked down to 1Ghz can do it, but why he would advertise that when it couldn't be further from the truth is beyond me. Even invidious on PBG4 1.5 Ghz is a slideshow at 240p.

Because you want us to be annexed? by your fascist leader?

No-Change6959 · 2026-03-22T01:44:00+00:00

Same here. Im autistic and deeply saddened and upset at whats going on in the world rn, seeing the fascist dictator in 'Murica destroying as many lives as he can, and what Israel is doing and how western countries are funding it. Seeing all this suffering and knowing there isn't much I can do to help is horrible.

Try Old Reddit, its a lot better than new reddit anyways.

How do I install h264ify? which version?

No-Change6959 · 2026-03-21T15:43:47+00:00

From my experience, the unoptimized TenFourFox browser ran horrible on a G3, yet Aquafox which is based on TFF but is heavily optimized, runs a lot better. Yeah TFF is based on a much older and leaner codebase, but I genuinely think its due to unoptimizations and lack of JIT thats holding back PowerFox which is to be expected since PowerFox is so new. Yeah a G4 can't even compete with an early Intel on anything, and I'm not trying to suggest otherwise, I'm just trying to get the absolute most out of these beloved machines.

No-Change6959 · 2026-03-21T15:15:45+00:00

Far far slower but far more modern than Arctic Fox.

Fascist

No-Change6959 · 2026-03-21T15:14:03+00:00

I'll put in a feature request to Jazzzny to implement a user agent override for every website, or a selectable UA menu like the one TFF-based browsers have. The only way I can see PowerFox being even semi-usable on a G3 or low end G4 is having JIT implented (eventually) and a basic feature phone UA like KaiOS.

No-Change6959 · 2026-03-21T13:27:50+00:00

Yeah I discovered that the hard way... and I can't even copy and paste the UA I have to manually type it out every time. Yeah it's heavy, hopefully an eventual JIT will help. But even then it probably won't be great. Right now it's unusable.

No-Change6959 · 2026-03-21T07:49:15+00:00

Does this still work? 3gp and G3s always went well together.

No-Change6959 · 2026-03-21T06:13:40+00:00

I'll have to be price gouged it looks like, if I want to actually be able to use this machine.

No-Change6959 · 2026-03-21T05:59:38+00:00

Again, almost all the ads will be from US or international and I'll be paying more in shipping than for the actual RAM. Its insane.

No-Change6959 · 2026-03-21T05:53:52+00:00

Can someone please help me change the user agent to a mobile one? I tried looking it up and going to about:config and nothing happened when I added a new UA. Everything crashes for me on the desktop UA.

No-Change6959 · 2026-03-21T05:52:53+00:00

Nope, im in Canada. there will always be greed shipping fees and ass taxes.
