My Mid-2011iMac is maxxed out at High Sierra but many sites including this one demand the most modern browsers to work. Right now I’m having to use a cobbled version of Firefox 143 to access this site as it refuses to do so on the last versions of Safari, Brave, Firefox (regular & esr versions), or Vivaldi that run on High Sierra.
The only valid web browser that I can find is Chromium Legacy but I’m hesitant about it from a security standpoint. Does anyone here use it? If so, is it with High Sierra?
The developer doesn’t sign the builds. So you have to trust him and GitHub, and tell your Mac to accept every new version. I’m OK with it, but you might not be.
There is no auto-update. He hasn’t patched the updater, which always looks at the Mozilla server, fails to find anything compatible, and does nothing. So you need to check on your own.
Yes, that is the cobbled together version of Firefox that I’m using to come here. However it has major flaws as several BASIC browser actions don’t work so it is very frustrating.
When I checked using a default SeaMonkey installation, it did not work.
An add-on extension is needed for Pale Moon to get it to work with Discourse-based sites, and you would have to trust the extension developer and the regular expression imported/added to the extension. Regular expressions applied by the extension are termed “filters.”
OK here are a few off the top of my head: 1. Can’t open a new tab by either clicking the “+” in the Tab Bar or selecting Cmd-T. You’re limited to either File>New Tab or Cntrl-clicking the “+”. 2. When trying to download something, the drop down menu appears but the “Save” & “Cancel” buttons are inoperative. 3. Can’t quit using File>Quit, I either have to quit via the Dock icon or Force Quit.
I’ll try to make a list as I run into other problems.
OK, 4. Clicking the Reload icon does not work but Cmd-R still does.
