![]() As an example of a site that’s complex enough but not overly challenging, I’ll show here how the three browsers rendered the home page of Digital Photography Review. Camino always ended up serving the best or most usable version. I’ve loaded some of the websites I visit most frequently, and assessed how each browser could render it. Using my PowerBook G3/400 ‘Lombard’ as a test machine, I did an informal comparison between Safari 4.1.3 (the last version running under Tiger), Opera 10.63, and Camino 2.1.2. Camino is newer, and it also appears to be less resource-hungry. Opera 10.63, the last version you can run under Tiger, was released in 2010. Other alternatives, such as an older version of Opera, or the last version of Safari you can run under Panther or Tiger, are simply too old to be useful. So, which is the best alternative when your Mac isn’t powerful enough to smoothly run the excellent TenFourFox? In my opinion, it’s Camino.Ĭamino’s development ceased in 2012. Of these, the only Mac that can (barely) run TenFourFox is the iBook G3/466. TENFOURFOX MAC OS X 10.4.11 MAC OS XA PowerBook G3/400 ‘Lombard’, with 256MB of RAM, running Mac OS X 10.4.11.A graphite clamshell iBook G3/466 SE, with 576MB of RAM, running Mac OS X 10.4.11.A blueberry clamshell iBook G3/300, with 288MB of RAM, running Mac OS X 10.3.9.Although the browser may run under Mac OS X Server, it is not currently supported.įor example, I have three machines I use from time to time: Back to TenFourFox, which requires at minimum a G3 Mac, OS X 10.4.11 or 10.5.8, 100 MB of free disk space, and 256 MB of RAM. TENFOURFOX MAC OS X 10.4.11 INSTALLI kept my complete FF3 install intact because that's where TenFourFox configures itself from. Video playback is likely to be poor on systems slower than 1.25GHz a G5 is recommended. In my opinion much faster, more secure than Firefox 3, works perfectly on my machine. ![]() 1GB of RAM and a G4 or G5 processor is strongly recommended. TenFourFox requires a G3 Power Macintosh, Mac OS X 10.4.11, 200MB of free disk space and 512MB of RAM. I read everything above and have demonstrated this bug only occurs on 10.4Fx by testing against this official version of Firefox 4/up (not applicable for startup failure) - SPECIFY VERSION YOU TESTED AGAINST: Very fundamental bug - 10.4.Fx crashes on all my Mac OS 10.4.11 Server Systems (9S2169) during printing of ANY web page (even the most. However, you may have a Mac that barely meets - or doesn’t meet at all - TenFourFox’s minimum system requirements: Every time someone with a vintage G3/G4/G5 PowerPC Mac asks me what browser would be my preferred choice for such systems, I always suggests TenFourFox, because it’s stable, secure, and actively maintained. ![]()
