Anyone still using Mac OS X 10.2 can’t run current versions of any of these browsers. Of the nine browser versions reviewed here, only four can run on Mac OS X 10.3.9 Panther – but that includes some of the best ones.
Some of them, like Flock, while they will work on a G3, require a G4 for decent performance.Įditor’s note: For those using older versions of OS X, we sometimes include system requirements for versions earlier than the one reviewed.
There are a lot of browsers for Tiger, but some of them I wouldn’t put in the lightweight category and therefore didn’t include in my testing. It is a 400 MHz with 1 GB of RAM, a new 5400 rpm 40 GB hard drive with AirPort Card and running Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger with all the latest updates installed. After looking carefully at my results and some of the comments I received, I have retested some of the more lightweight browsers on my Pismo PowerBook G3. I recently tested as many browsers as I could find, but the test machine was my iMac Core Duo running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard. Opera Next also updates itself to the latest alpha or beta so you can experience our newest technology.As a user of older Macs, especially G3s, lightweight apps make your day-to-day usage a lot easier, and this extends to web browsers. No changes are made to your original Opera installation. Opera Next installs a separate pre-release version with a distinct white icon. WARNING: The development snapshots contains the latest changes, but may also have severe known issues, including crashes, and data loss situations. Plus tons more! Definitely worth checking out. Keyboard shortcuts: Triple your efficiency by getting rid of that ridiculous mouse and use fast and convenient keyboard shortcuts.
Opera is a light-weight browser with many advanced features.
