If you can't or don't want to upgrade your macOS, for security reasons you should consider using a 3rd party internet browser that supports their current version with your older macOS. One example is Chrome if you have macOS 10.13 or higher. See: https://www.google.com/chrome/

Apple doesn't charge for the upgrade.
You may have a cost if any of your current applications aren't compatible (see the last paragraph of my previous post) or if you have a printer or some other device that isn't compatible.
Thank you for the helpful information. Is there a cost associated with updating to Monterey 12?
