Honestly this sounds like a pretty great way to experience the modern web on modern computers too.
Another option for the same purpose is the Web Rendering Proxy by Tenox, which can also supports images/js by prerendering the page and serving and image map to the old browser: https://github.com/tenox7/wrp
Was great to see the video[0] you did (and production quality, humor, etc) showcasing MacProxy Plus. As the BlueSCSI maintainer it's always exciting to see it being used the wild in cool new things like this!
Oh this looks perfect! I kind of intended to make something like this, but now I don't have to. Looking forward to replacing my macproxy with this to try it out :)

I want to try this.
