Jun 23, 2003 Safari is a web browser developed by Apple Computer, Inc. And available as part of its Mac OS X operating system. It was included as the default browser in Mac OS X v10.3 (Panther) and is the only browser bundled with Mac OS X v10.4 (Tiger). https://spirecyber.weebly.com/home/facebook-app-for-mac-os-x-106. Oct 04, 2011 i'm currently running tiger 10.4.11 on my powerbook G4 and need to upgrade to min leopard 10.5.8 to be able to operate my new iPhone. Can i install any version of 10.5 (e.g. 10.5.6) or do i need to start with 10.5 and the update the software from apple downloads?
When my neighbor asked me what he could do to fix his problems with browsing the internet on his G4 Mirrored Drive Door, my immediate response was to upgrade that machine to a Mac mini. He informed me that was the down the road plan, but it just isnât in the budget quite yet. In the meantime heâs been using his daughterâs old PC laptop to get by, but he really misses having one machine for everything â web browsing on one and working on the other is getting a bit tedious.
OK, time to be neighborly and delve a bit into the details of what exactly the browsing problems were. He told me that browsing has pretty much slowed down to a snailâs pace and he kept getting the getting the spinning beachball of death when visiting some sites â Facebook in particular. None of the browsers he used could be updated to current because his computer was incompatible. I let him know Iâd look into it and get back to him.
I asked a few others around the office here if anyone was still actively using a PowerPC machine. Interestingly enough, while several of us had the machines in question for tinkering, nostalgia, or stand-alone tasks (ie. as a media server, file server, print server, etc.), none of the co-workers I asked were actively using their machines for web browsing. But a few suggestions for some alternative browsers were made. After doing a little research on each, I settled on three to try.
So, when I got home I installed the following PowerMac G4 browser options on his machine and after trying them all, he said that TenFourFox âfeltâ the fastest of the three with Facebook, but that all of them solved the problems he had been having. Heâs back to one machine and is extremely happy that his web browsing âfeels like new again.â
So if youâre using a PowerPC Mac and running into issues with web browsing, it is nice to know that there are still options out there. Are you still using a PowerPC? Have any additional browser options? Let us know in the comments.
