Browsing... 8 bits at a time.

What is Oldskoolizer?
Oldskoolizer is an experimental Chrome extension that transforms web pages into an 8-bit style reminiscent of the Commodore 64. It changes fonts, pixelizes images, reduces colors using a C64 16-color palette, and adds a full-page scanlines overlay. Experience the nostalgia of browsing the web in a retro 8-bit fashion.
