The current features of Browservice include the following: The performance is also tolerable on older machines if a low JPEG compression level is used and the browser window is small. Early 00s hardware (~1 GHz CPU clock) can often surpass 10 FPS in video streaming. However, it is surprisingly usable if the network connection between the proxy server and the client is fast (such as 100 Mbit/s Ethernet LAN). Initially, this approach of sending the whole browser view as a new image every time it changes might sound quite inefficient. It also listens for keyboard and mouse events from the user and forwards them to the proxy by including them in the URLs of the image requests. The client browser runs a JavaScript application that requests and shows the images. The browser view, combined with a control UI bar, is then compressed as a PNG or JPEG image and served to the client using an embedded HTTP server. The Browservice server uses CEF (Chromium Embedded Framework) to run a Chromium browser instance that renders the browser view into an off-screen buffer. It also features a major internal reorganization in which the code has been split into two parts that communicate through a plugin C API this should make it easier to add support for native clients in the future. This release adds support for file uploads. The installation should be very simple just download the correct AppImage, add execute permissions and run it ( see instructions). This is the first release with self-contained prebuilt binaries available. This release adds support for bookmarks and changing URL from the client browser by appending goto/URL to the address. This release adds support for running the proxy server on Windows (both 32-bit and 64-bit) and drops support for the i386 architecture on Linux (as Chromium no longer supports it). This release adds support for soft navigation buttons in the browser area and partial blocking of local file access. It works by rendering the browser viewport into images, which are then shown by a JavaScript application running on the client browser.

A web "proxy" server that enables browsing the modern web on historical browsers.
