Advice sought: Mid-2009 Macbook (not Pro) and Mojave / Monterey / Ventura
A niche suggestion if you have all of the time: if you don’t rely on icloud services, you can actually try very old os x like mountain lion + this for browser

What's the best browser for Mac OS X Snow Leopard?
If you can do it, I'd go to Lion. It added so many features such as the launchpad, the option to reopen windows when you restarted your computer, etc. It's new enough that Chromium Legacy will work, and it's what I use for my unsupported Mac OS X installs. Unlike Arctic Fox which is essentially pale moon 27 under the hood, Chromium Legacy is fully up to date as of when I'm posting this.

What is the oldest Mac OS that is compatible with a version of Waterfox that still receives security updates as of now?
Chromium Legacy goes back to OS X Lion 10.7 and is being actively worked on. It has its limitations compared to the original Chromium (see Readme): https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy
- Chrome is dropping support for MacOS 10.13 and 10.14 this summer, that is too soon! A lot of Macs were high end machines when they were released, they are still capable today as mid-range machines. Eventually people will have to switch to Firefox OR Chromium-Legacy in order to use a recent browser

I don't use GitHub much so I don't know, so how can you tell how many people are working on a project, like for Chromium Legacy: https://github.com/blueboxd/chromium-legacy

Latest browser versions for 10.11.6 El Capitan
I haven't tried it myself, but a couple of minutes ago I found out about Chromium-legacy. The description says it's equivalent to current upstream versions of Chromium except for some limitations caused by older OS versions. Viewing DRM-protected content (e.g. Netflix) requires separately installing the Widevine library.

The History of Cover Flow
I also miss the icons for drives showing up in the finder window sidebar. Now, all drives' icons are ignored and replaced by generic, OS-assigned icons. Rather than having a visual cue of what to click on, one must read the name. Seems trivial, but it sucks and I hate it.
A couple projects tried to keep the sidebar icons alive using mySIMBL (1) and later MacForge (2) but they've sadly all been abandoned. (I think.) They never really worked all that well, requiring finder-rebooting and various shenanigans to get them to run (if memory serves.)

Is there a way to change the skin color on Safari 16 (16" MBP OS 12.6) from all white to something like before?
Not an easy fix but there might be a plugin for that in https://www.macenhance.com/macforge

Projects for Old Versions of OS X
SIMBL lives on mostly thanks to w0lfschild, see: https://github.com/w0lfschild/MacForgeFramework. This repo hasn't been updated since 2018; I'm not entirely clear whether the most recent versions of MacForge is still based on SIMBL.
The SIMBL on my website uses an unmodified SIMBLAgent binary taken from an older version of w0lfchild's mySIMBL (https://github.com/w0lfschild/mySIMBL). However, I recompiled his SIMBL.osax with 32-bit support added back in, since I use a lot of 32-bit apps: https://github.com/Wowfunhappy/MacForgeFramework
Quick note that I don't really understand this code, I can just tell you that it works, at least on Mavericks.
