Reframe is an open-source browser based on Electron for macOS that brings back the look & feel of Safari 1.0, Netscape 4.8, Firefox 1.0 and Internet Explorer 5.0, with a built-in Wayback Mode.
Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Maik, maker of RetroMac, and today I'm launching Reframe, an open-source retro browser for macOS that lets you surf like it's 1999, powered by a modern Chromium engine.
Reframe recreates the look and feel of classic browsers: Safari 1.0, Internet Explorer 5.0, Netscape 4.8, Firefox 1.0, and many more coming. Toolbar icons, status bar, spinning throbber, the whole deal. But underneath, it loads today's web just fine: modern apps, JavaScript, video, all of it.
The fun part: there's a built-in Wayback Mode (find it in the Help menu) that lets you browse pages as they actually looked back then.
It's not meant to replace your daily browser. It's for the moments when you want nostalgia, vibes, and a different kind of focus.
