Steve Weyer released Newt's Cape as freeware a couple of years ago. It is supposed to be the best Newton browser.
You can get it here https://communicrossings.com/html/newton/regnewtscape.htm

You can get it here https://communicrossings.com/html/newton/regnewtscape.htm I tried but couldn’t load any webpage at all. Looks like it doesn’t supports current days websites anymore.

That's likely to be how it is my dude. It'd be cool if someone could create a web service that loads pages in a server and translates them to something that older browsers could at least render part of the information.

If you, like me, have trouble with this page your browser install needs tweaking. Please let me know what you do/did to make it work.

In theory, you could access the Terminal by connecting to a Mac or Linux machine and thus use Lynx on the eMate.... That might be your best bet. I find that Lynx can often circumvent newspaper paywalls and such, so it is very handy for text-only browsing.
I should add that I haven't done this eMate voodoo myself, and have only ever thought of trying it on an AWS95 running A/UX -- where a serial connection is easier to manage -- but apparently it can be done: https://bytecellar.com/2007/09/11/newton_emate_30/

(edit: this should have been its own thread really. created one. sorry for hijack.)

PT100 is the usual port of call when on this small, green voyage of discovery: http://www.unna.org/view.php?/internet/PT100v1.1

(edit: this should have been its own thread really. created one. sorry for hijack.) I had a Mac plus working with a raspberry pi using the serial connection from the gpio on the board. A dB-9 level shifter and a dB-9 to mini din serial cable gets the connection going. Then just set up serial console and you can access the terminal (and lynx) from ur Mac.
