Best Web Browser for iBook G3 on 10.3?
Posted by: HFTaylor12 on 2016-12-10 15:55:37
Hello,

I am new on this forum so I'm sorry if I'm posting this in the wrong place. Anyway, I have (or had, and will soon) OS X 10.3 Panther installed on my G3 366MHz Clamshell. I find it to be much faster than Tiger. So, are there any good web browser options? I'm OK with something a little bit outdated, all I need to do is look up information and news 90% of the time. But not something ridiculously outdated either, because I'd like it to works decently with most websites with out displaying the page all wrong and out of place.

I know speed is going to be terrible no matter what option I choose, however I would also like a relatively fast web browser.

Thanks for any ideas!

Camino? It was last released in 2012.

Camino only works on 10.4, however I have tried the older version that is Panther-compatible, and it does not work very well, sadly.

Ahh, ok. In that case, try iCab. Or downgrade to OS 9 and run classilla.

iCab... OK, I'll try it. If I'm not mistaken that no longer supports 10.3, so I have to download an older version, right? I hope it's not too old.

Yea. Version 4.9 should work. It is from 2012.

2012 isn't bad at all, thanks! I will try this once I have Panther working again.
