Even after you upgrade OS X on that PowerBook, the version of Safari is still going too old to really be useful
You'll need to give up on Safari for PowerPC and go with TenFourFox. I now run it on all our remaining PowerPC Macs, including a 2003PowerBook 17". It is a big part of their remaining in service,
It is a port of FireFox and web sites see it as a curently supported version of FireFox so you shouldn't get any of those "your browser isn't supported for this site" messages.
Downside: Any version of TenFourFox newer than v17 does not support plug-ins, so you can;t watch Flash videos. No a big deal in that no version fo Flash for PowerPC does any better.
