Opera for mac os x 10.6.83/18/2023 ![]() Maybe there is an alternative to the deadly boring rise of chrome and edge after all. The project seems to have changed significantly and now runs on *nix and windows and has its own rendering engine (Goanna). Finally, we added Palemoon a number of years ago as a windows only FF optimization. Then we added brave which intercepts and replaces embedded adverts with its own (they say its better for the publisher and more secure - are they brave (or crazy) or what). Most are just UI stuff (OK it's still innovation) on top of Webkit. Imagine our surprise (and delight) when we had to add 4 new browsers at this update. Frankly, it seemed pretty pointless just updating the version numbers of chrome and FF and Opera which is what has mostly happened over the last couple of years. New Stuff: It's been a very long time since the last update. And if you want to check your browser string use our cheap trick page. to know who and what is crawling around your site. You need this information to make the fewest checks possible for the browser environment or to optimise the display or. Browser IDs, more correctly User Agent IDs, appear, among other places, as the environmental variable HTTP_USER_AGENT in Apache. Nominally RFC 1945 and RFC 2068 define them ( get RFCs) but only as an afterthought (the RFCs define HTTP 1.0 and 1.1). We started these pages with four strings because we had never seen a comprehensive list anywhere. ![]() So we split the mobile things onto a separate page. This is a year longer support.This page was getting big - we're talking big. Google/Chromium and Opera dropped support of the EOL OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and WinXP/Vista back in April 201'''6''' so they are not really an option.įirefox released Apwas the latest update to still support the EOL Mac OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8. They could have easily dropped WinXP/Vista earlier on due to the increasing difficulties in testing and build machines just as they were having with the support of OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8. However at this point Mozilla will have supported WinXP/Vista users for over two years since Google/Chromium and Opera dropped WinXP/Vista. The Firefox 52 ESR support ends at 52.9.0esr Released on June 26. So would it really have been worth the resources, time and build machines needed to maintain support in current releases or perhaps some separate version branch for another year or two?Įven Windows users are not immune as WinXP/Vista support was dropped (despite far more users) as of Firefox 53.0 and later. Here are the specific breakdowns by OS version: This will affect approximately 1.2% of our current release population. Intent to deprecate: MacOS 10.6-10.8 support Google/Chromium and Opera dropped support of the EOL OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8 and WinXP/Vista back in April 201 6 so they are not really an option.įirefox 45.9.0esr released Apwas the latest update to still support the EOL Mac OSX 10.6, 10.7, 10.8. There should be a dmg for this to fix the settings and back up the ps file rather than trying to go to the coded tech-head site and sift through the code details. It only makes it worse when I put tracking protection settings on because then in addition to still tracking history streams won't work (they end up choppy and stall). This has been the case prior to Mozilla ending its support for MAC OS prior to 10.9 I have "never remember history" selected, and I'm CONSTANTLY having to go into the Privacy Settings and hit 'delete all history", over and over. Or move to Google's products? I can't get History to stop saving. Shall I just use Safari (which is garbage). To dump us because we can't buy a new computer to run a newer OS that is a memory hog is quite frankly, a shame. ![]() Some of us remember the Netscape/Internet Explorer war and CHOOSE Mozilla Firefox with intent. It is unreasonable for Firefox support to have been dropped for MAC OS systems prior to 10.9 - it's a browser, it should always be backward compatible. I can't spend $3,000 with Apple to get a MacBook with 16GB to give up 250GB of hard drive space for the same size screen just to run the newer OS and update Firefox. I have a 2012 MacBook running 10.8.5 because it only has 8GB and can not run a newer version of the OS. I think telling someone who has clearly indicated he/she can not update their computer to update their computer is a but unreasonable.
