Surfing the Internet like a C64 or Amiga 500: The "Pixelfari" current sites in the blocky look of shows 20 years ago. The browser replaces vector fonts by pixel fonts and screws the resolution of images down - just for fun. A modern smartphone can display on its display 960 x 640 pixels - enough for a razor-sharp images and readable text.
It is not so long ago, there were far less generous resolutions even with home computers already quite good. Back when computers were clunky and gray-beige, 320 × 200 pixels were considered state of the art. The speech is 500 of the eighties, the era of 8-bit home computer from computers like the Commodore 64 and Amiga The software developer Neven Morgan with the help of a friend of the Mac browser Safari now converted to a time machine: your free "Pixelfari" can be use as a conventional browser - but it pixelated the Web.
The 8-bit browser settled down in the low resolution images of the early computer days and makes it look even innocuous graphics like defaced celebrity children. Immaculate Verktor fonts are replaced by a coarse pixel font, which unfortunately has no umlauts - but that only reinforces the nostalgia effect.
