Some 12 years ago I had to order a new motherboard and at that time all I had at hand was some old eMac. I'm not sure if it had 512MB or 1GB of ram installed by previous owner but browsing the Internet was tiresome. Still, both that chunky white boy and TenFourFox managed to help me and I've purchased that mobo.
I moved off Mac these days but it reminds me of when they were still awe inspiring Unix machines. These days they're way too iOS for me to be interested.

Im addition to the 263 small things that were on a single slide at WWDC 26
I hope there's more. There is a lot of room for improvement in macOS UI beyond those changes.
I havent used Mac is in a while, so I am not sure about how it is today, but this seems to have been the development everywhere.

Basilisk supports the technologies required for the modern web, while deliberately avoiding the rapid architectural and interface changes common in mainstream browsers.
Nothing but very vague and useless marketing-speak.
PowerFox is both standards compliant and feature-rich, supporting the latest web technologies to ensure compatibility with modern websites.
which means.. next to nothing. No "PowerFox version X has (at least) the same web standards support as Firefox Y".
it likely has code from newer versions spliced in
That's a good thing, but making it clearer what to expect will make it easier for potential users to decide whether to give it a try.
There are not that many options for the potential users.
I might download and give this a shot
I thought my Firefox LTS was updating fine, but I could be wrong. I could certainly browse with it.
The G5 was actually the last Mac I owned until buying a Neo just for giggles.
(Then again, Powerfox is meant to run on OSes that have been EOLed for more than a decade now ... so I am not sure how secure a browser, any browser, will be running on it. :)
But, I do wonder what the browsing experience is like. It was rough using Firefox back on Mac's in the mid 2000's and the internet has only gotten significantly more data heavy since.
Anything less than a G5 would be difficult to deal with.
