Pixelfari: a pixely, 8-bitty version of Safari from Neven Mrgan
- xtacy 16y agoCan someone throw light as to how this is done? It seems to use the native Safari app, unless I am wrong.
- modernerd 16y agoIt uses WebKit rebuilt with 8-bit png image assets, combined with the PixelMix font[1] and what appears to be a custom library called 'Pixelifier'[2]. Very clever.

- NathanKP 16y agoIt launched but almost instantly crashed.
- wmf 16y agoAre you running on a 64-bit computer? That might be too many bits; try running on an 8-bit machine.
- templaedhel 16y agoOr open 8 more copies, that should be enough bits right?
- DavidSJ 16y ago7 more.
- ot 16y agoI thought it would be 8 times faster instead
- ashleyw 16y agoUsing a 32bit OS? Crashes on my 2006 Core-Duo MBP too.
- jacknagel 16y agoI have a 2006 Core Duo MBP also. Running file on the binary produces this: Pixelfari: Mach-O 64-bit executable x86_64 Guess I'll have to find a 64-bit Mac so that I can play with it.
- Udo 16y agoYeah, same here. But it did open and stay alive on the third launch, probably some initialization issue.
- jamesbkel 16y agoSame here, worked second time fine.

- freedrull 16y agoWhy don't you just use Dillo. :P
- othermaciej 16y agoAdorable. Some folks on the team were sad that it does not pixellate videos (yet?).
- taylorbuley 16y agoFinally I find something I want to use with Geocities but, alas, I am too late.
- smbwrs 16y agoNot every idea is a good one.
- erickhill 16y agoWould love a version of Safari that looks like it came from a Vectrex, too (think Tempest).
- limmeau 16y agoThat reminds me of the good old 80s, when URLs were 8+3, web pages were scripted in GW-BASIC, and we spent our youthful evenings in Space Quest Online.
- georgemcfly 16y agolow-res and 8-bit are not the same thing.
