WRP (Web Rendering Proxy) is a Go-based proxy server that lets vintage and legacy web browsers access the modern web. It renders pages using headless Chrome and serves them as clickable GIF/PNG/JPG images (ISMAP mode) or simplified HTML that old browsers can display.
Use cases
- browse modern websites from Internet Explorer 1.5 on Windows 3.1
- use a vintage Mac or classic Netscape browser to read today's web
- serve simplified HTML versions of pages to legacy browsers
- set up a gateway so old computers can access https sites
- render web pages as clickable image maps for browsers without CSS/JS support
- run a proxy.pac-based HTTP proxy for retro machines
When to choose
- you want a vintage or legacy browser to access modern websites
- you need a self-hosted gateway running on modern hardware with Chrome installed
- you want both graphical (screenshot/imagemap) and simple HTML rendering modes
When to avoid
- you need full modern browsing with JavaScript and interactive web apps on the old machine itself
- you cannot run a modern host machine with Chrome/Chromium
- you need https proxying with full URL path support
