We think the new hot Mozilla has every possibility of kicking WebKit back into the margins where it belongs. But we were horrified when Mozilla delivered the one-two punch of dropping both support for Tiger and our beloved Power Macs from Firefox. And, of course, Apple's been giving us Power Mac users the proverbial middle digit since 2006. That's why your MacBook has the same hoary old architecture in ye old generic Wintel box, and if you want to use your perfectly good OS 9 software, you're using Tiger or bust.
But if there's one thing we've learned from our years of using Macs, it's that they outlast anything else out there. Why shouldn't an iBook be able to look at embarrassing pictures on Facebook, or Twitter about our lunch break? They may not be as fast, but there's no technical reason they can't do everything that a MacBook can. So if you want something done, you do it yourself, and we did.
You'll find TenFourFox significantly faster overall than Firefox 36, yet it supports so many more new and emerging Web features that your dear old Power Mac will still be able to do what you need online for years to come. Video playback will be poor on systems slower than 125GHz; Intel Macintoshes are not supported (and will be mercilessly mocked).
Dromaeo industry-standard browser JavaScript benchmarks. New in TenFourFox 10 is our new method compiler, trouncing even the fastest interpreter by over three times using Mozilla's JaegerMonkey and type inference technologies. Not only have we tuned our JIT specially for your processor (even the G5), but our JIT also works on Leopard and Tiger even on the lowliest G3, allowing any Power Mac to pound through today's JavaScript-intensive web applications faster than any other PPC browser. We're sending our work back to Mozilla so others can benefit, but with TenFourFox, you can get the best Power Mac JavaScript performance today! Performance may vary with energy saver settings and available memory. Dromaeo includes both SunSpider and Google V8 tests in its final score.
Well, it did, because everyone else did it too and now vector and SIMD extensions are in every new Intel CPU and every new browser. But no one brought those new algorithms back to the PowerPC browser world ... In TenFourFox 4, we brought you pixel compositing and WebM video accelerated by AltiVec. In TenFourFox 5, we brought you scaling and colour conversion powered by AltiVec. In TenFourFox 6, we even accelerated HTML itself, and in TenFourFox 8, we not only made that faster but added accelerated JPEG decoding too. Every step of the content chain is faster already, and will get faster in the future. It's the power your G4 and G5 Power Macs always had that TenFourFox finally unlocks.
Download TenFourFox and accelerate your Power Mac's Internet experience today. We're (almost) exactly the same code as Firefox ESR 10, and surf the same sites, but with the code needed to keep your Power Mac functional and fast.
There is always the risk of system instability, data loss or security compromise. You accept these conditions unconditionally by downloading and using TenFourFox. We eat our own dog food, but we (and you) do so at our own risk.
