What does HackerNews think of browservice?

This is were things like browservice comes to the rescue if you have a bigger machine available and only need more independent terminals: https://github.com/ttalvitie/browservice

Also rdp/freenx/x2go/vnc can help.

That doesn't make the old computer a full independent desktop but it can avoid sending a perfectly good keyboard/trackpad/monitor in the landfill. And unless you are a dev, 99% of the time you need a browser you already have network and won't point to localhost so that remote faster box can be connecred through vpn anywhere.

You could use WRP, which renders web pages into giant imagemaps. https://github.com/tenox7/wrp

There's also Browservice: https://github.com/ttalvitie/browservice

Browservice renders navigable screenshots in IE or any other browser, using a modern counterpart as its proxy (although using it might feel like cheating):

There was a project floating around recently that rendered the website as an image using a modern browser backend, transmitted it back to any old browser (was demonstrated using IE5, I think), and also mapped mouse clicks to the appropriate locations in the document so the page remained more or less interactive. The UI looked like an extra navigation bar.

Can't remember the name, though (and it's also hard to search for).
