It isn't Firefox and so there isn't a filtering plugin for it that will block certain web sites. It is very low resolution by today's standards and php web pages aren't likely to work correctly with it. I've had problems downloading from ftp sites with Arachne with the download being corrupted. I don't like it when Arachne downloads to the cache folder instead of the download folder to a file with a random name. If Arachne had an option to password protect any attempt to access sites that aren't local to the machine it is running on, that would be somewhat of an improvement.
I really want to be able to run Firefox from Freedos running natively. One option is to add a light distribution of Linux that runs on top of Freedos with a light version of X and Firefox. Another option is to add an X client for Freedos. A third option is to port Firefox so that it will work with a Freedos compatible gui such as opengem or something else. I guess a fourth option is to see about porting WINE to Freedos, but that would be a major undertaking. Arachne is not a great substitute for Firefox, but it's good enough without any filtering options that it could pose a problem on a networked system if filtering is needed. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Are you an open source citizen?
