Here is the thing there are good choices for PowerPC but there are much more for Intel. It’s unbelievable why they stopping doing browsers for our old PPC. Anyway, I think the most sad thing for a PPC user is not be able to use Google Chrome. But follow a list of good Browsers:
* TenFourFox (the only one that support HTML5): http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox
* Camino (one of the best) http://www.caminobrowser.org
* FireFox (3.6) http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html#languages
* Safari (there is no link because is already on your computer, sadly Apple don’t update anymore)
* Opera (10.63) http://www.opera.com/browser/download/?os=mac&ver=10.63&local=y
* OminiWeb (this is a great browser) http://www.omnigroup.com/products/omniweb/download/
*SeaMonkey http://www.seamonkey-project.org/
* Flock (2.0) Was really good too, but they discontinued
* NetScape http://browser.netscape.com/releases
Please if you like subscribe to my blog or leave a comment. Thanks
NetScape’s been discontinued too, you know. I’m pretty sure even when this post was made it was discontinued.
Hi there, you are right, NetScape is discontinued a long time, I just put in the pack because sometimes is good to have options and it’s good to know. At the end just the user can decide what is the best. Can you believe some people still asking about the (IE) for mac. lol!
Don’t be mean!!!!!!!!!!!
lol! It’s true. lol!
I’m confused.. how exactly is this comment mean? I’m just letting him know it’s been discontinued. Giving people information is not mean, it’s quite the opposite.
You are right!
Thank you so much! I really wanted to know if google chrome was for ppc. Also I wanted to know if you could install Opera on a ppc. My dad has a Intell (mac os Lion) but he never lets me go on the internet. So no Chrome for me. I went to a website that showed all the web browsers and Opera sounded good for me.
My dad says Opera is for grown-ups (I am a kid) so do you have any suggestions for browsers that are good for kids?
besides fire fox (I all ready have it).
A fine browser is Stainless, still UNIVERSAL (so fit for PPC): http://www.stainlessapp.com/
Here you can find all possible versions of
Firefox https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/firefox/releases/
Seamonkey https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/seamonkey/releases/
Camino https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla.org/camino/releases/
The site includes powerpc-version in different languages.
Well, since I’m back here, I figure I might as well link to the PPC Firefox I’ve been using on my old PPC Mac laptop: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Ack, I just realized that’s at the top of the list. Sigh. Delete these will you? :p
Thanks for sharing.
TenfourFox version 17 is out. Localizations are available in German, French, Italian, Polish and Swedish… Waiting for Dutch still… :-)
Netscape can still be used for PPC but it sucks. Just downloaded it tonight and dumped it right away. LOL
There’s a new browser out for os x leopard–ppc or intel. It’s called Stainless, and it’s just like Chrome–even better I think, but it’s still Beta. Some things don’t work.
I found an interesting comparison of PPC-browsers on http://gregstechblog.blogspot.be/2011/04/powerpc-mac-browser-comparison.html
@PowerMac4Ever this is very interesting.
Personally, I use this: http://www.xabaras.it/firefox-powerpc/
Works very well. Just a suggestion to add to your list, and worth a try if anyone is interested.
Actually, now that I’ve downloaded and tried the Aurora browser (http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/43362/aurorafox), I’ve decide to ignore my own advice! It’s a much more up-to-date browser and even Google Drive and outlook.com don’t pop up with a warning that it’s out of date. My new advice: Download Aurorafox, enjoy & and long live the powerpc :-)

What you guys think about iCab?
I tried Opera 10.63. I must say it is fast. I only have 512MB of RAM in my iBook. Others browsers are constantly flushing to the hard drive, Opera does not. So it is interesting if you you have low ram specs.
Looking for a PPC browser with IE type page tools for rebuilding/copying an entire site.
