Opera Or Firefox For Mac

  2. Opera Vs Firefox For Mac

The Safari browser comes pre-installed with macOS and it’s a browser many people love. Safari is a graphical web browser developed by Apple, based on the WebKit engine. First released on desktop in 2003 with Mac OS X Panther, a mobile version has been bundled with iOS devices since the iPhone's introduction in 2007.

Opera Or Firefox For Mac

I have an old white Macbook 2008 or so laptop with Leopard that still runs (bless its heart) but can't really run any recent browsers. I'd like to have it for my elderly mother to go online and do some very basic browsing.

Opera

Is there something that will run with an older machine and still load newer pages? Firefox and Safari are not loading pages in any usable way.


Sorry I don't have any the specs here - would have to go boot it up and get them. So it's more of a general browser question. However, what I do recall is that in terms of resources, it can run leopard, possibly snow leopard although that was questionable. I do not believe it's recommended to run Lion or Mountain Lion on this machine. So it's probably as far as it will go.


Would prefer not to put any money into it, just wondering if there was a band-aid solution. It's still a decent little box; I sometimes use it for audio captures and general computing tasks when the MB Pro is tied up with an encode.

Thank you

MacBook Pro with Retina display, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5), null

Opera Vs Firefox For Mac

First off, I hate 'vs.' topics, and I'm not looking to start a fanboy flame war, but as a n00b mac owner, I'm pretty unfamiliar with Safari; I know it can do all of the same big-scale features firefox and opera can do, but of the three, which do you guy & gals prefer, and why?
I've always been an Opera fan on my old Windows box, but I installed Firefox on my mac and I think it's decent. I haven't played around much with Safari, or Opera yet, but I'm interested in being convinced that I should (or shouldn't)
Thanks!
