The max version of Adobe Flash for OS 10.3 is version 9. You can download here.

Both Safari & IE browsers for 10.3 are somewhat obsolete for many of today's web pages. Firefox is a better choice. Firefox browser for OS 10.3 v2.0.0.20 (freeware)
http://www.versiondownload.com/firefox/2.0.0.20

Some other, more modern, browsers are discussed at this link. http://lowendmac.com/osx/panther-10.3/index.html

I find IE has a hard time displaying almost any modern web page. It's been untouched for something like 4 years.

I find the Camino browser does very well. The last version that ran under OS 10.3.9 is Camino 1.6.10. It's here:

Are you asking about the iBook G3 in your profile or an eMac that this forum covers? Any eMac will run nicely with Tiger 10.4.11. Our oldest eMac is a "first-issue" 700mHz and does quite well with Camino, FireFox, and Safari after I upgraded it to 10.4 and bumped the RAM to 768MB.

If it's the iBook having trouble, you may wish to peruse the iBook G3 forums for suggestions from people with the same model as yours. That forum is here:
