MacSurf 2.0.5
"HACKADAY"The polish batch on top of 2.0: text renders at the correct size everywhere, a large modern-CSS pass, a much more capable on-device JavaScript engine, ad/tracker blocking, and a typing-latency fix. Full release notes ↗
On a Mac OS 9 machine right now? GitHub doesn't render on-device — use the plain-HTTP edition of this site instead, it links the same build.

Expand it with StuffIt Expander — right-click (or Ctrl-click) → decompress if it doesn't auto-expand.
Double-click MacSurf to launch. No installer, nothing to configure.
