Are there any modern web browsers for MacOS 9?

For those with MacOS 9, it is a fairly safe assumption that most have Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, as it was the default browser when the operating system was current. MSIE 5 for the Mac isn't the worst browser ever released, and it supports some CSS for 'modern' website designs. However, it renders web standards poorly, often requiring webmasters to spend a great deal of extra time 'hacking' code to get their designs to display properly or at least acceptably.

As more-and-more Mac users migrated to MacOS X and upgraded to Safari or Firefox, most webmasters began to ignore MSIE 5 for the Mac. When Microsoft discontinued support for MSIE 5 for the Mac on December 31, 2005, and no longer offered it for download starting January 31, 2006, it was the 'final nail in the coffin' for the browser. However, MSIE 5.1.7, the last version offered for MacOS 9, is still available for download in some archived corners of the web.

When this Q&A was previously updated on January 22, 2008, there were no browsers under active development for MacOS 9, but as first spotted by a helpful reader on site sponsor Operator Headgap SystemsMac tips, there now is a web browser under active development for MacOS 9 again!

Dubbed 'Classilla' -- 'a portmanteau of Classic (for the classic MacOS) and Mozilla' -- this project declares that it:

Is bringing back web browser support to your classic Macintosh -- built on WaMCom, a port of Mozilla to classic Macintosh systems, using the same technology underpinning the popular Firefox browser. It's completely free and it's open source, and it's standards-compliant. Use it without cost or restriction; or, if you've got the skills, hack it and make it your own. Classilla brings your wonderful old Power Macintoshes back to life and back online.

The project website even provides a roadmap for future development. Looks quite promising.

There also are three other browsers -- no longer under active development -- that are better choices than MSIE 5 for MacOS 9.

Prior to Classilla, the last browser developed for MacOS 8.5-MacOS 9.2.2 was iCab 3.0.5, which was discontinued on January 1, 2008. iCab describes their product as 'the taxi for the Internet' and promotes that it offers a variety of modern features -- including 'tabbed browsing', 'pop up/pop under' advertisement blocking, 'cookie' management, and more. iCab 3.0.5 renders standards-compliant CSS so that many 'modern' site designs work properly. It is shareware, and should be registered for US$20/EUR15.

Another fairly 'modern' browser for MacOS 8.6-MacOS 9.2.2 is WaMCom 1.3.1, 'Web and Mail Communicator', a modestly enhanced and bug fixed version of Mozilla 1.3.1. This browser was last updated for MacOS 9 on July 23, 2003, but supports tabbed browsing, and due to better standards support of CSS, is more likely to render websites correctly than MSIE 5.

Released on February 18, 2003, Netscape 7.0.2 is a bit older than WaMCom 1.3.1, but still newer than MSIE 5. This is the last version of Netscape released for MacOS 8.6-MacOS 9.2.2. It tends to be a bit more 'bloated' and slower than MSIE 5, but like WaMCom, provides better CSS support and is far more likely to render websites correctly. It features tabbed browsing as well.

Go ahead and download Classilla 9.x, iCab 3.0.5, WaMCom 1.3.1, and Netscape 7.0.2. The vast majority of the time Classilla 9.x or iCab 3.0.5 probably should be your browser of choice, but the other two browsers may come in handy as well. All four may have trouble with some websites, but each is far more likely to work with more websites than MSIE 5.

It is hoped that this is helpful to keep your MacOS 9 system productive for a while longer. If Classilla remains in active development, your MacOS 9 system may remain productive online for years to come.

1stBrowser removal instructions

What is 1stBrowser?

1stBrowser is a chromium-based Internet browser claiming to significantly improve the Internet browsing experience by allowing users to personalize their browsers, quickly access their favorite sites, secure their data, and make use of other similar features. On initial inspection, this app may seem legitimate and useful, however, 1stBrowser is categorized as a potentially unwanted program (PUP). The reasons for this negative association are: deceptive installation of this software without users' consent, and tracking of Internet browsing activity.

1stBrowser continually redirects users to isearch.tinyresults.com without users' consent. These unwanted browser redirects significantly diminish the Internet browsing experience. This PUP gathers various data and shares it with third party companies. The developers state that none of the collected data is personally identifiable, however, it includes IP addresses (to determine demographic location), websites visited, pages viewed, search queries, and other information - clearly, this information might contain private details. Therefore, having 1stBrowser installed on your system can lead to privacy issues.

1stBrowser Privacy Policy towards information sharing:

Aggregate Information and Non-Identifying Information. We may share aggregated information that does not include Personal Information and we may otherwise disclose Non-Identifying Information with third parties for industry analysis, demographic profiling and other purposes. Any aggregated information shared in these contexts will not contain your Personal Information.

1stBrowser is similar to other chromium-based browsers also claiming to enhance the Internet browsing experience including, for example, Chedot Browser, MyBrowser, and BeagleBrowser. These fake promises are simply attempts to trick users to install - none provide the functionality offered. Adware-type applications are designed to display intrusive online advertisements and collect personal data. Their purpose is to generate revenue for the developers - adware-type apps deliver no real value for users.

How to avoid installation of potentially unwanted applications?

There are two main steps you should take to prevent installation of adware-type apps. Firstly, use the 'Custom' or 'Advanced' download/installation options and closely analyze each step of these processes. Secondly, never accept offers to install additional apps - opt-out of all third party programs listed for download or installation. The key to computer safety is caution. Do not rush these processes.
