There was a similar project called TenFourFox that was halted in 2022:

Some 12 years ago I had to order a new motherboard and at that time all I had at hand was some old eMac. I'm not sure if it had 512MB or 1GB of ram installed by previous owner but browsing the Internet was tiresome. Still, both that chunky white boy and TenFourFox managed to help me and I've purchased that mobo.
(TenFourFox maintainer) Thanks, glad it was helpful to you. There is some TenFourFox code in this respin which is being used to support the widget code, and there is work in progress to forward-port its JIT. I'm not writing that code but I am advising on it as questions come up.
Thanks for keeping TenFourFox going for so long! It let me keep using a G4 iBook as a daily driver until ~2016 when the web got to be too much for it to handle.
Yes, my poor 1.33GHz iBook G4 really drags in it now, but it suffices for simple things and grabbing files for the tasks it still does.
Thank you for your work on it! I love that I can browse most of the modern web on G4 and G5 Macs still.
Thanks! I wish modern JavaScript were a little kinder to it, but I still use it myself for basic tasks.
I thought you’d be here - thank you!
