TenFour on 10.6?

[Mac03ForLife]

So I'm downgrading to 10.6.8 on my MBP 8,1 (Recently it just froze and Locked entirely)
I have a 10.6 disk on hand, so I'm going to use that.

PPC Support through Rosetta is more important to me than iCloud.

Will I be able to run TenFourFox through Rosetta?
Camino?

Will FF 57 and Chrome run?

Sorry, Im kind of new to the whole browsers thing on Mac machines.

Yes to both browsers, but Camino is dead.

No on Firefox. Latest one to run is 48.01.

Chrome - no info, sorry.

Latest Chrome doesn't even run on Mac OS X 10.8, I guess no chance for 10.6
Those could be interesting, too:

The best current up to date browser for 10.6 is Palemoon. http://www.palemoon.org/
Mac version download here: http://mac.palemoon.org/dist/palemoon-27.6.2.mac64.dmg

@wicknix Thanx for sharing this! Palemoon looks like a real good alternative in active development for Mac OS X 10.6 and up, at least for those able to run 64-Bit apps.

For those that are interested, I'd like to share some more links:
Palemoon Mac forum for getting most recent binary downloads, probably until official Mac support:

So far unofficial build instructions for Mac (didn't test 'em, yet):

No problem. It's a great browser for 10.6. Heck it's the ONLY browser for 10.6. I do like Roccat, but sadly it uses Safari's webkit which is quite outdated on 10.6. I thought about taking a stab at leopard-webkit ( https://sourceforge.net/projects/leopard-webkit/ ) and building it for 10.6 (if i ever get the time). It's already on par with Safari 10/11 for 10.5, and linking Roccat to leopard-webkit makes for a great experience on old powerpc's.

Cheers
