It doesn't work. I've just tried it on Windows 95B. Throws an error about a missing function "IsDebuggerPresent" which I could "fix" but it still won't start.

December 29, 20178 yr I'm sorry but I really don't know an answer to that. I think a lot can be achieved (just think about KernelEx) but I know way too little about that stuff.
January 7, 20188 yr Author a lot can be achieved but there seems to be little interest in trying to get modern standards web browser working.

Hmmm, if you are OK without the (mostly senseless) fancy stuff QTWeb works just fine, even if last release is a few years old: http://www.qtweb.net/ If someone actually wants to continue the development, it is OpenSource: https://github.com/magist3r/QtWeb jaclaz

Upgrade your windows.

In order for it to work, someone's gotta know how to use Qt 4.4.3 and remove NT 5.0 dependencies to make it usable on 9x.
January 12, 20188 yr I think there is some misunderstandings. Using Qt framework is easy! QTWeb Browser depends on QTWeb Engine from Qt framework! Even if you succeed to rebuild latest QtWeb Browser using older Qt framework (which I doubt), the functionality of the browser will be downgraded because it will use older engine! Version of Qt framework used for QTWeb Browser is not compatible with 9x systems! So, to make latest QtWeb Browser compatible with 9x systems we need to recompile the Qt framework(proper version) itself in such way to be compatible with 9x systems!
January 12, 20188 yr I believe that an important thing for an eventual new project moderm browser is the recapcha's (v2) support https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api2/demo But today, rather than a new browser, i am absolutely certain that the best option should be to have Opera 12.1x branch capable on Windows 9x. I wonder what is the main reason(s) because so far kernelex (and company) always fails to run it. Is it really impossible?
January 12, 20188 yr It would be great, if someone solves the problem to run 12.1x. I have invested a lot of time without success. We were able to run 12.10 and 12.12 in the background, this means it didn't initialize the GUI. See Kext topic page 13. The Setup of Qt Web Browser 3.5 and higher requires comp. mode Win2000SP4 and KernelEx must be enabled to run it. Latest Version 3.8.5 based on older Qt framework 4.8.5. Before you allow internet access you must disable Java Script, otherwise QT Web will crash. Edited January 12, 20188 yr by schwups
