Anyone out there who dares run TFF on there G3 (yes G3) Mac, please tell me what YouTube video playback experience is like? I know there are dozens of YOUTUBE applications, but for the sake of curiosity, I am wondering how painful TenFourFox YouTube playback is on a 19 year old processor. Thanks!
I don’t know about a G3, but I’d suspect it’d be unusable.
I tried using it on my 1.4 GHz G4 Mac Mini with 1 GB of RAM on Mac OS 10.4 and it was an exercise in patience. There were simple pages that loaded quickly. But modern websites that expect modern browsers and modern computers were slow enough to load that I would just give up.
I no longer have the G4, so I can’t perform and current testing. But this was approximately 2 years ago.
Perhaps refinements have helped since then.
I certainly have nothing bad to say about the developer. I have a lot of experience with him in years past on other projects. He is very talented and knows what he’s doing. But hardware limitations are the main issue.
