Google has ended support for the Dreamcast web browser, a relic of the early 2000s. The browser was a unique feature of the Sega Dreamcast console, released in 1998. It allowed users to access the internet directly from their console.

The news was announced by PC Gamer, citing the browser's 25-year history. While the browser was a pioneering feature at the time, it has largely been forgotten in the years since.

There are still homebrew solutions available for users who want to get their Dreamcast online, but surfing the web will be a bit harder without official support. The browser's demise is a reminder of the fleeting nature of technology and the importance of preserving our digital heritage.
