Why am I getting access denied errors on macOS Sierra?

I have: Sierra 10.12.6 My Mac Processor: 1,6GHz Intel Core i5 from late 2015

I can not update Chrome as I can not seem to update Sierra (no options for update)

Being denied access to websites/ "Bad Gateway"/can not find the site you are looking for

Do I really have to buy a new IMAC?

iMac 21.5″, 10.12

No. You can either use Chromium Legacy based on v124 but not maintained now

https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/chromium-legacy-google-chrome-for-os-x-10-7-10-9.2283612/

or you can use Firefox Dynasty which is constantly updated to reflect the latest Firefox

https://github.com/i3roly/firefox-dynasty (download 'Latest' under Releases, lower right).


Those will keep you going for quite a while without having to buy a new computer or upgrading your OS
