Other Web Browsers for Bell Labs' Plan 9?

Posted by Cliff on from the seeking-alternative-web-walkers dept.

SeanIBaby asks: "I was wondering if anyone used Plan 9, and Inferno/Charon for a web browser. Are there any other web browsers for Plan 9, or do you have to code your own? I've noticed that Inferno's company sells Plan 9 boxed sets for $150US. I guess this is because they include the Inferno/Charon binaries with the image, even though they let you download Inferno for free from their website. Plan 9 is free from Bell Labs."

    Which begs the question, "Why is this important enough for an Ask Slashdot?" The last I heard of Plan 9 was a story on Slashdot about Plan 9 running on an embedded virtual machine, so it could run applications under a web browser, rather like Java applets. Nothing came of that either.
