I LOVE this project, and want to actually do classwork using it, but I wish you could go to websites other than the preset archive.org sites. It would break the emersion, but a toggelable browser setting in the browser window to allow the browser to work with other sites would be amazing.

it could be very easily done with a toggle menu, which if enabled, disables line 286 of explorer.js

how can i modify the code to make each page work?

Jurorno9 commented 1 year ago

shoot, I started work on a fix, and it is a WAY more complicated than I though. It was quite easy to just a a boolean to disable the archive.,org site redirect. but DAMM some websites don't want you to embed their content. Maybe over a break in classes, I'll implement https://github.com/niutech/x-frame-bypass to fix this. But for now I'm going to close this

This is definitely something I'm interested in. The archive.org integration was actually spurned by most popular sites not working, but it seemed like a good fit (for a quick solution) since it fits with the retro theme to show historical versions.

Another tool, which I haven't looked into: https://github.com/dosyago/BrowserBoxhttps://github.com/dosyago/BrowserBox I'd guess x-frame-bypass fits the bill better.

It seems like the main hurdle will be hosting, in any case. (I also thought about adding support in Electron with <webview>, but that's just much less interesting, if you'd have to download software to run it.)
