Windows 95 Emulator Browser: A Blast from the Past

Nostalgia lovers, rejoice! You can now relive the good old days of Windows 95 by using an emulator browser that brings back memories of the classic operating system. The app, developed by Slack developer Felix Rieseberg, is based on a web project that supports multiple older operating systems, including Windows 95, Windows 98, and many others.

The Windows 95 emulator browser is surprisingly lightweight, taking up only around 200MB of RAM when running all the old Windows 95 system utilities, apps, and games. The app itself is just 129MB in size and can be downloaded from Github for both macOS and Windows operating systems.

Unfortunately, Internet Explorer isn't fully functional yet, as it refuses to load pages. However, other apps like Wordpad, phone dialer, MS Paint, and Minesweeper run smoothly as expected. The emulator allows users to test different settings and configurations, and if you encounter any issues, you can always reset the Windows 95 instance and start over again.

Rieseberg has made the source code and app installers available on Github, allowing developers to build upon this project and create even more nostalgic experiences for users. With this emulator browser, you can now play around with Windows 95 in an electron app, reliving memories of the past or introducing younger generations to the classic operating system.

Windows 95 has become a yardstick for what's possible on modern devices and platforms, appearing on various platforms such as the Apple Watch, Android Wear smartwatch, and even the Xbox One. This emulator browser is another example of how Windows 95 continues to inspire innovation and creativity. So, dust off your old Windows 95 CDs and get ready to relive the good old days with this amazing emulator browser!
