I prefer Iceweasel PPC to TFF, as it's a bit speedier IMO. Same codebase without the cruft.
Got a tip for us?

What was the reason for later Firefox versions not being ported to TenFourFox? FF45 is definitely aging... (released in late 2015 and compatibility with websites will be an issue soon enough) something needs to be done about this...
Even though the FPR releases use the Firefox 45 code base, improvements from later versions are being backported to that.
Why is Webkit being NEGLECTED? its a great browser, but why are the developers neglecting it? TFF is great but Webkit has so much more on TFF.
Lack of Tiger support. Big reason. Which is not to say Leopard WebKit isn't awesome or useful.
If memory serves, Mozilla added a crucial component in later versions that couldn't be ported to PowerPC and then built off of like previous versions.
Maybe I'm wrong. I don't know, something to that effect.
For many of us, much of these endeavors are passion projects based out of spare time, often formed to personal taste. Dr. Kaiser largely prefers the Gecko rendering engine as opposed to WebKit, so he made the decision to work on a Firefox fork instead of a WebKit fork. And given that there was no real incentive to work on WebKit instead, it stuck.
Although he did make a TenFourKit for a short while, but then dropped it in 2012, so it's 2 years newer than 10.4's Safari 4. It can be found in Macintosh Garden.
For the most part, that's where Leopard WebKit comes in.
At a cost, it is only for 10.5 however.
I guess I'm blind as all hell, but where can we find the most current version of both Iceweasel and Arctic Fox for OS X PPC? All I can find in quick searches is Debian stuff and whatnot (or that 10.6 thread for Arctic Fox), but nothing on PPC.
Edit: Nevermind. It was there all along:

Time to put them to the test!

I am giving my (wonderful) old PPC MacBook to my daughter and it appears that TenFourFox has saved the day.
A request:
EPIC! Books is a godsend for parents by making thousands of books available.
I can run EPIC on my newer MacBooks without a problem, but when books open in TenFourFox, the formatting is completely wrong. This may not be the place to talk about it - if so, I do apologize - but if someone more experienced in TenFourFox-ing could help solve this, my daughter and I thank you in advance

If its PPC, its not a macbook. If its not a PPC, its a macbook and you are better off running Snow Leopard or Lion, and using Arctic Fox, Spiderweb or Interweb.
Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I for one got a kick out of seeing Jordan XP on the front page again

I had an involuntary tick....
I didn't check the date and thought I got caught in a time warp! Hard to believe this thread is already a year old.Well, I don't know about anyone else, but I for one got a kick out of seeing Jordan XP on the front page again

Something tells me he will appear again, this time perhaps having learned a thing or two as we all have had to at some point or another in our lives...

I'd like to turn him loose in the Pale Moon forums, that'd be a hoot 🤣
