   With a little effort I was able to build viola, one of the very earliest graphical web browsers, on Tribblix. So old it doesn't send a Host header and certainly can't handle https. So the number of sites it can talk to is extremely limited.

     There was even a Motif version. The fact that a 30-year old browser can still be coerced into building, linking, and running on a modern system is pretty remarkable.
