  • Classilla surfing on Macintosh Repository in 2017 under Mac OS 9.2.2! 
  • Classilla connected to Facebook on Mac OS X 10.3.9 running 9.2.2 classic in 2024 

What is Classilla?

Classilla is literally the best (and most up to date) web browser that can be used under Mac OS 8.6 or 9.x.  Classilla is also open source and thus, free.  It was derived from Mozilla Internet Suite, which itself emerged from Netscape Communicator's tweaked source code back in the day.

Nowadays, Classilla is the only web browser for Classic Mac OS still allowing you to visit websites in an almost correct fashion.  Since PowerPC systems are so old and slow, there is no way fancy HTML5, CSS3, ES6 Javascript or newer SSL encryption versions will ever work, let alone WebGL 3D websites, purely from a hardware limitation factor, but it is still the best option to browse websites on a Mac OS 8.6 or Mac OS 9.x system at the verge of 2020.

Classilla is an abandoned project since 2021 and no other release is planned.
