Mac desktop 2011 won’t update. What should I replace it with?

Trouble bringing up any browser. Updates not available. I need a new computer and don’t know what to buy.

Possible workarounds for not being able to upgrade...

Mostly you just need a more modern Browser than Safari on Catalina, Mojave, or High Sierra like Firefox or Brave.

Details about recent download Brave, for 10.13.6/10.14.6 are here:

Thanks to dialabrain…

Firefox 115 is now the current version. runs in High Sierra.

119.0.1 is now the current version and requires 10.15 or later.

As far as upgrading I'd consider a good used Mac from a reputable dealer...
