This is an obituary written from public records rather than gossip. Browser has stopped answering, and the registration and archive trail is the only honest account of it available.
When the lights went out
Three requests on 9 September 2026, https, www and http, all failed with ENOTFOUND. There is no server left behind that name.
Of 6 archived captures that actually loaded, the newest is December 2021. That is where the trail ends.
The site, in its own words
The final good capture, December 2021, carried the title "browser.webcam - Registered at Namecheap.com". Above the fold it said "browser.webcam".
The company is describing itself there, preserved by a third party. It is the closest a reader gets to seeing what they signed up for. Marketing, not evidence of quality, but nobody can quietly revise it now.
What they sold
The archive first captured a working page in July 2019.
The public record holds that much. It shows a company that was real and shipping, and nothing about how well.
The rest of the trail
On the operator we hold nothing beyond the registration record, and the name is free to register again.
The name still draws roughly 5,720 searches a month worldwide, measured 9 September 2026. That is the reason this page exists: the affiliate reviews recommending them are still live and still earning.
We stop short of a cause deliberately. The registration and archive trail shows when things stopped and nothing about why, and the difference between those two claims is the difference between a fact and a defamation.
The rest of the graveyard
Others in this market that ended, checked the same way:
- What happened to Ninja Proxy
- What happened to Njsoman
- What happened to NNTime
- What happened to Nxltech
- What happened to Ocaspro
- What happened to Octoberproxy
What to use instead
Use a list that is re-checked rather than a name that used to work. Our free proxy list is re-verified every few minutes, so entries that stop answering fall off it. If you already have an address from an old bookmark, the proxy checker will tell you whether it still relays anything.
Free proxies are shared, which means the sites that care have usually seen the address before you arrive, and they hold no session, so logins tend to break halfway through. That is the honest shape of free, ours included.
