What version of MacOS are you on? That will make all the difference.

El Capitan.

gonna be getting the adapter for the dvd drive where I can have a 2nd sad, so, I can dual boot High Sierra.

but, currently using El Capitan.

Many modern web browsers and apps will work with your Macbook in High Sierra. So I can't recommend any 'special' apps particularly.

Be aware that Chrome (and by extension, Brave) have dropped support for 10.13 as of the latest update.

Doublepost...

Ok, so get a legacy version of the browser, or find another. All that dropped support stuff is arbitrary.

👑 Age of Empires 3
🗺️ Civilization IV

Both worked very well on my 2010 MacBook (it is now a Linux machine, but I have its former SSD - with Snow Leopard - close at hand if I ever fancy a quick 10-12 hour civ session).
