However, you may have a Mac that barely meets - or doesn’t meet at all - TenFourFox’s minimum system requirements:
Every time someone with a vintage G3/G4/G5 PowerPC Mac asks me what browser would be my preferred choice for such systems, I always suggests TenFourFox, because it’s stable, secure, and actively maintained.
