But until 534.31.2, 10.4 compatibility wasn't broken on purpose.<br />However the most recent 10.4 compatible WebKit is maintained by OmniGroup and equals the version that shipped with Safari 5.0 - unfortunately their work on the WebKit sources isn't publicly available.<br /><br />But fullscreen support for Tiger (and Leopard also) was deactivated on purpose for a reason that is described in Apple's internal bug tracking only.

The reason I caution about not running as well as that TenFourFox isn't, and probably won't ever be, Intel-native or Universal, so it will be somewhat slower.<br /><br />Your other choices would be OmniWeb or Camino. These will still run on 10.4, at least for the time being, and do have a native Intel version.

Funny, yes, but confusing. So is here! With so much excellent advice I still don't know what to use.<br /><br />I am using a real MacBook OS 10.4.11 which I am not able to upgrade.

I have a Processor: 1.83 Ghz Intel Core Duo with memory 1 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM.<br /><br />I did the machine app trick suggested on the webpage but it doesn't list my answer: 146 (see below).<br /><br />catherine-s-todds-computer-2:~ ctodd1000$ machine<br />i486<br /><br />There's so much discussion on their web page about different versions and unstable vs. stable that I can't choose anything. It's obviously not for neophytes. Why would I want anthing "unstable?"<br /><br />But my gmail is no longer working well so I have to make a change. Please tell me which version to use and where to download it. There's too much text on the TFF page to figure that out. I never thought I was stupid until I've tried to do this and failed!<br /><br />What exactly and where exactly do I go to download what I need?

Also, Chris it's time to confess about the SSD and the backroom pref switches.<br /><br />Off-topic: any insight into whether Camino 3 will utilize lepkit vs. developing their own tigkit? Googled around but couldn't find much precise info about Safari 4.1's H.264 capabilities. C3 is shaping up to be a real slam dunk especially if LLInt makes an appearance via either project.<br /><br />Also it's still driving me mad that TFF engine has not been Camino-shelled. If official goes WebKit (and possibly Intel) that would open the door for not one but two forks: 1. multimedia-webkit edition, and 2. performance-tff edition (eventually performance-multimedia edition).commenterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07519524577344612730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1015214236289077798.post-9371331398629725572012-04-26T11:51:06.103-07:002012-04-26T11:51:06.103-07:00Thank you Angel, will do... and until I came here ...Thank you Angel, will do... and until I came here I didn't even know I could upgrade, since the message was always "no."
