Web browsers for PowerPC Macs, running OS X 10.4.11 to OS X 10.5.8 are rather limited

in availability, and Flash player support is also limited to what one may acquire from the

Adobe Flash player archived versions for older systems. Read through the Adobe help

page 'installation problems' thoroughly before download or installation.

Some browsers for PowerPC Macs, G4/G5:

The iCab web browser is fairly good, but if you do not buy a license, you will occasionally

see a prompt to buy a license; prompt will fade away after awhile. http://www.icab.de/dl.php

The TenFourFox browser, by default, does not let Flash player work. It is possible to work

around that limitation; I use this often and for me it poses no problems. It does support

most web site that uses other animation technologies such as HTLM5 for youtube, etc.

Note there are several builds listed http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/

SeaMonkey for PPC browser (another mozilla based build) has some support in there are

occasional updates to the software. This runs on PowerPC G5 only, at this time. There is

another SeaMonkey build for Intel versions, they are not current for PowerPC Macs.

With the last supported Flash player installed, there is a way to allow a patch or update

to that installed version to fool the browsers into running it as a later version 11.5. This

has its own instructions and does not upgrade Flash to the most recent, though.

•Patch for vintage Adobe Flash (update pieces) to 11.5 version D/L w/ instructions:

Good luck & happy computing! 🙂

A PS as a correction to SeaMonkey for PowerPC browser:

This will work on a PPC G4 but the OS X has to be Leopard 10.5.8.

So my typo involving 'works only on G5' was an error, I have it on

my own G4s running Leopard 10.5.8; won't run in Tiger 10.4.11.

A day late & a dollar short, one may say, regarding timely editing... 🙂
