This page uses PNG images heavily. Typically, most browsers that cannot display
      PNG images are often old enough to have more than adequate built-in Gopher
    support and do not require Overbite software. For more details, please see the
                  information on the [1]Floodgap Public Gopher Proxy.

The Overbite Project

hosted by [3]Floodgap Systems

   Bringing gopherspace back to modern operating systems, browsers and mobile
   devices
   Return to the [4]Gopher protocol's low bandwidth and high efficiency, right from
   your mobile phone or modern computer! Quickly connect to downloads, services and
   servers maintained across the global Gopherspace using the Overbite Project's
   free open source gopher client software.

   What's Gopher good for? Gopher isn't a "mini-Web": it's an efficient, low-impact
   way to collect and organize documents, files and services. Its hierarchical
   nature and menu-document model complement the Web and FTP, and it is faster to
   access and simpler to process.

OverbiteWX
for Mozilla Firefox
Quantum 57+

   PCs and Browsers

   OverbiteWX is a WebExtensions-compatible add-on for [6]Mozilla Firefox that
   brings back Gopher support to Firefox Quantum by automatically connecting Gopher
   URLs you type and click on. Written in cross-platform JavaScript and runs
   anywhere Firefox runs, including Mac OS X, Microsoft Windows and Linux! Free and
   open-source!
   We recommend getting it direct from Mozilla. Grab it right from your browser from
   [7]Mozilla Add-ons! Automatically kept up to date!

   The current version automatically redirects your Gopher requests to the
   [8]Floodgap Public Gopher Proxy. Future versions will directly connect when a
   solution for [9]bug 1247628 is devised.
   Try the experimental OverbiteNX for proxy-free native connections. Get the beta
   from [10]Mozilla Add-ons!

OverbiteFF
for Mozilla Firefox 52ESR,
TenFourFox
and SeaMonkey

   PCs and Browsers
   This version is intended for Gecko browsers compatible with legacy addons. It is
   not compatible with Firefox 57 or later: use OverbiteWX. It is no longer
   supported.

   The original OverbiteFF is a cross-platform [11]Mozilla Firefox, [12]TenFourFox
   and [13]SeaMonkey add-on that brings back Gopher support to Mozilla browsers with
   an attractive and customizable interface, improved protocol support (including
   CSO/ph, finger and whois), and full integration with Firefox, TenFourFox and
   SeaMonkey including downloads, bookmarkable URLs and web-gopher interoperability.
   Written in cross-platform JavaScript. Free and open-source!

   Manual download for Firefox 38-56; SeaMonkey 2.35+ and TenFourFox: [14]download
   and install version 3.1

   [15]Documentation for OverbiteFF 3.1 (This URL is hosted in Gopherspace and
   requires Overbite to be installed, or a Gopher-compatible browser.)

   You can still [16]download OverbiteFF 1.1 for Firefox 2 (gopher URL),
   [17]download OverbiteFF 2.1 for Firefox 3/3.5 (gopher URL), or [18]download
   OverbiteFF 3.0 for Firefox 3.6-37 (gopher URL). They are also no longer
   supported.

Overbite for Android(TM)

   Mobile
   If you're looking for a MIDlet version for your J2ME or Java ME-compatible mobile
   device, look at [19]PocketGopher by Felix Plesoianu! Includes source code.
   Or, try another [20]PocketGopher, an unrelated project for Android by Afonso
   Trepa. Also includes source.
   Overbite for Android brings Gopher support to your Android 4.0+ mobile phone or
   device. Seamlessly browse and switch back and forth between the Web and
   Gopherspace, with full integration with Android features such as support for
   multiple devices and resolutions, screen zoom, Home screen shortcuts and portrait
   and landscape orientations. Handles gopher:// URLs from the Browser
   automatically! Fast, uses minimal bandwidth, and great for roaming or low-speed
   links where Web browsing may be slow or costly!

   Overbite for Android is a testing alpha. It is in a state of incomplete
   development. Please read the download and installation instructions carefully.

     * [21]See screenshots!
     * [22]Download and install (Android 4.0 [Ice Cream Sandwich] required; Android
       9 [Pie] or higher recommended). Fully compatible with all Android versions
       through 12 [S].

   You can still [23]download previous versions (gopher URL) supporting Android 1.5
   [Cupcake] and later. These releases are no longer supported, and may not work
   properly on later versions of Android. Source code is available for all releases.

Overbite Chrome

   PCs and Browsers
   If you're looking for a way to access Gopher resources in Google Chrome, try
   [24]Burrow: Gopherspace Explorer, which allows you to transparently access Gopher
   resources through public HTTP-Gopher proxies.

   The original Overbite Chrome is no longer supported due to changes in Chrome's
   extension format. It is still available for [25]Chrome 19-23 only.

Other Browsers
and Environments

   Proxy Use the online [26]Public Gopher Proxy for most browsers and operating
   systems. The Floodgap Gopher Proxy is designed for most web clients and allows
   downloads, queries and translation of most major item types. Access is limited by
   [27]Floodgap Terms of Service.

     * [28]Floodgap Public Gopher Proxy

   Overbite downloadable software support for Apple Safari, Opera, Microsoft Edge
   and Microsoft Internet Explorer is currently being considered for the future. For
   these browsers today, please use the [29]Proxy. Other browsers may also be
   considered upon request. If you are interested in such support being extended to
   your platform or browser in the future, please [30]send E-mail.
