Google killed the 25-year-old Sega Dreamcast PlanetWeb 3.0 web browser this week — big G's services no longer respond to this quarter-century-old software

Google has discontinued support for the 25-year-old Sega Dreamcast PlanetWeb 3.0 web browser, rendering it useless for accessing Google services due to outdated SSL/TLS technology. Despite this, fan-made search engines and online gaming servers are still accessible for Dreamcast users. The demise of PlanetWeb is attributed to its use of obsolete web standards like old SSL, JavaScript engine, and outdated ciphers. Dreamcast enthusiasts can still use alternative search portals like Frog Find for web searches and continue playing online community-supported games like Phantasy Star Online and Quake III Arena.
