gosh...I'll have to check that next time Im on my 17 inch iMac??@mortlocli Doesn't seem like latest brave browser supports mavericks? Are you running an older version of the browser? Like all chromium derivatives, unless they specific patch like bluebox does they don't support 10.11 or newer
Does anyone know a browser that will work in a Snow Leopard VIRTUAL MACHINE (Parallels)?
Safari works very spasmodically, with pages loading incomplete sometimes even blank, or else "Safari cannot establish a secure connection to..."
I've been using the only browser that works, Arctic Fox, but now I'm getting a consistent error page which includes the message "The OCPS response contains out of date information", so that doesn't work anymore.
All the browsers built on the same architecture as Omniweb have always failed, in that the address and search fields won't show a cursor and therefore cannot be typed into.
Any suggestions?
Yes, that's exactly the behaviour I was referring to. I wonder if it's something to do with VMs not using the host machine's graphics card? Though it didn't affect Arctic Fox... .That’s… interesting. (and no, not in a Minnesota way.)
I just tried to launch @wicknix ’s Interweb 60.9.9 in Snow Leopard 10.6.8 in VMware, and I watched the browser sort of freak out, rife with hangs, delays, not displaying the url being typed into the url window, and then not loading what one entered. Even the About Interweb… modal box, which does show up, does so without the images. I have no idea why, and now I’m as curious as you are.
How do people deal with the need of adblock? E.g., Arctic Fox and Interweb cannot install uBlock and are absolutely inundated with ads. Same with TenSixTube. Is there a way?
Instead of uMatrix, I use ηMatrix 5.0.3 in Tenfourfox, Arctic Fox and SpiderWeb.For uMatrix, there is an early iteration which works. The linked version, 1.1.4, appears to be the last to work with older browsers based on pre-Quantum (i.e., pre-FireFox 57) code.
Sure. Try the xmoon theme. Its the closest you'll get to that Safari look/feel.

Not even close. Crime 49 is old as dirt and has expired certificates. Yes, i called it "Crime" because chrome is not a privacy respecting browser by any means (nor is current firefox, but that's another story).Probably the best one for SL 10.6.8:
Code:Google Chrome Version 49.0.2623.112 (64-bit) This computer will no longer receive Google Chrome updates because Mac OS X 10.6, 10.7, and 10.8 are no longer supported. Learn more
Unfortunately non of the Mozilla based browsers work on my machine. Something is preventing pasting in the search field. It is completely blank.Not even close.

InterWeb was last updated about 9 months ago, has current certs and supports tls 1.3. Even Arctic Fox would be a better choice than Crime 49.
Odd. I would probably try to figure out why that is because it's not normal. Maybe create a new user account and try from there. If they work, then you have a corrupt user account. If you are running them from within a VM odd things can happen also.Unfortunately non of the Mozilla based browsers work on my machine. Something is preventing pasting in the search field.

Some offshoots yeah. I wouldn't trust waterfox and some others. Mercury seems pretty legit. Sadly no Mac builds available though. If you have time, some of this review of browsers is dated, but worth the read.As an aside, do these issues also apply to Firefox offshoots like SeaLion?
Is that on your main Mac, or is it in a VM e.g. Parallels? I see this effect running those browsers in a VM.Unfortunately non of the Mozilla based browsers work on my machine. Something is preventing pasting in the search field. It is completely blank.
It is on my Mac Pro. It is a brand new installation. I believe it is due to the unaccelerated video card. I am using RX-580.Is that on your main Mac, or is it in a VM e.g. Parallels? I see this effect running those browsers in a VM.
That makes sense - VMs don't have a graphics card at all, they simulate one using the host's RAM. It sounds like your GFX may be too recent and too powerful for old browsers? In which case why do you need such an old browser?It is on my Mac Pro. It is a brand new installation. I believe it is due to the unaccelerated video card. I am using RX-580.
There are no drivers for AMD's RX-580 for SL. I will check my GTX Titan.It sounds like your GFX may be too recent and too powerful for old browsers?
I'm confused. Why do you need SL on a recent Mac?.There are no drivers for AMD's RX-580 for SL. I will check my GTX Titan.
