INTERNET ON THE ZX SPECTRUM

Okay it's not quite the Internet on the Speccy but it's as close as it's likely to come and IS NOT MOCKED UP. Ironically you should really watch this video in 720 HD full screen to see that all images are actually pixelised and rendered *identically* to the way a ZX Spectrum would (attribute clash and 15 colours amongst other issues!).
These are real Spectrum compatible images loaded in real time in Firefox on a Windows 7 PC. The software doing the conversion is Image To ZX Spec 1.2.1 hooked up to a Java based proxy which is filtering the images (converting them to ZX Spectum compatible images).

It's nice but it's a just a plugin or theme for the Firefox Browser which show the web-pages as os 16 colors mode.

@AlexMagic777

As already commented it's a web proxy, not plugin.

Is it a plugin for Firefox? What is its name?

@Abrimaal

I've updated the description with web links.

FTA:

"it's not quite the Internet on the Speccy"

"These are real Spectrum compatible images loaded in real time in Frefox on a Windows 7 PC."

"These are real Spectrum compatible images"

@scottyblocks So thank for such an improvement, I will not watch websites in 256x192 px and 15 colours :/

@Abrimaal How Is That A Plugin Or A Program If You See The Windows 7 Or Vista Window Frame

For Crying Out Loud!

@brownb2vid Ok I read the instructions how to run it, but I will not try until I know how to return to the normal settings of Firefox.
