Q: Gmail, Youtube, facebook compatibility
Is there anyway to maintain compatibility with Gmail, Youtube, FB, etc on a PPC-based ibook running Tiger (OS 10.4.11). Since about a week ago I am getting a message from Gmail upon log-in that my current browser Firefox (v 3.26.7) is no longer supported (the message 2 weeks ago was slightly different) and there are no newer Firefox versions comaptible mith my machine. Today I went to Youtube and discoved videos were not viewable, only the audio comes through. I tried downloading the current version of Chrome but it's for Intel only. I'm having trouble finding older versions that might be installable. Even if I find one I suspect they may not work. For the past year youtube videos posted in FB have been unviewable from within the FB interface so I kind of knew this compatibility stuation was coming to a head. Even if I upgrade my OS to Leopard I still have the hardware issue, of being a non-Intel-based Mac.
iBook, Mac OS X (10.4.11), g4 1.2ghz
