Browser for Mac OS X 10.5.8 (Leopard)

Hello everyone,

I have an old Mac Ibook G4 laptop. It has 512MB of RAM and a 37GB hard drive. It works perfectly but the Firefox and Safari browsers no longer have security certificates, so they can't access many sites.

There are specific browsers made for these old Macs, but I can't get them to work. I managed to install TenFourFoxG5, but it won't start.

I downloaded Webkit 604, but the installation is way too complicated for me.

Could some kind soul help me find a solution that's suitable for a motivated and patient non-geek? Thank you in advance!

Hello,

 I have an old Mac Ibook G4 laptop. It has 512MB of RAM and a 37GB hard drive.

...so it's very old!

 I downloaded Webkit 604 but the installation is way too complex for me.

Check out this link about the version Leopard Webkit for old Macs.

Thank you for this link, Panth33ra. Very explanatory indeed.

In the meantime, I found Interweb PPC which I was able to install without any problem and which is working very well so far, allowing me to connect even to my bank!

I highly recommend InterwebPPC to anyone in my situation. It's easy to install as well. It helps to revive those old Macs that are still functioning, even though of course, their capabilities are limited.
