What does "Your browser is not supported anymore" mean?

I have seen reports of websites including bank websites giving that message due to use of a browser (e.g. Safari) that has not been updated and is a possible security risk due to the lack of updates.

If you have Mac OS X 10.6 as your post indicates, the latest version of Safari that will work with that is 5.1.10 which was released in September 2013.

You could either update the OS X on your Mac or if you cannot or do not want to do that you could install Firefox and use that instead of Safari. The current version of Firefox will run on OS X 10.6 https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/

Limnos,

WZZZ posted a late add-on to your response in this thread:

Re: How can I upgrade Safari?

with the pertinent Mozilla links. He also posted to my thread about Chrome doing the same thing in the WC.

I get the impression that some deep engine changes that are coming require a later OS version.

For what it is worth, the next version of FireFox,which should be released very soon, will cease support for any Mac OS version older than OX10.9 Mavericks. Therefore it is a limited-time solution.

I am testing SeaMonkey right now because my daughter has a Mac that cannot run the later OS versions and needs a FireFox replacement. Based on limited testing so far, SeaMonkey looks, feels, and works like FireFox but is retaining support back to Mac OS 10.6 Snow Leopard.

Only get software from the developers site, not downnload hosting sites. For SeaMonkey, the developers' site is here:

EDIT: FireFox isn't targeting the Mac OS.The upcoming version will also drop support for anything older than Windows 7.

I have used SeaMonkey as an additional browser since it came out. It has a snappy feel to it.

Edit: There is not one perfect browser. I have used Opera, Camino (deceased), Omniweb, Firefox, Safari, SeaMonkey and others over the years. Each has their warts as well as good features.

All pre-Mavericks? I had heard they were dropping support for Snow Leopard but cutting out 3 OSX versions in one go? That's pretty drastic, only supporting Mac OS back 3 years in time and cutting it back from nearly 10 years.

Good morning Sparkleberry,

I'm feeling the "snap" too although I'm currently testing on a quad-core i7 2.93Ghz iMac that is blinking fast anyway. I need to install it on my MBP I suppose. With its 2.5 Ghz dual-core i5 processor, it is definitely not the race horse that is the iMac.

What does it mean your browser is not supported?
