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

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.

Website Fidelity
The Client Hints specification covers a lot of this already - https://wicg.github.io/ua-client-hints/#content-adaptation-u... ... DPR, width, and viewport-width are already available in some browsers. Hopefully other hints will be available soon.

JP Morgan Chase Bank, or Why Not to Whitelist Operating System User Agents
As a Firefox/FreeBSD user occasionally annoyed by this nonsense, but not being knowledgeable about modern web standards evolution, I wonder if https://wicg.github.io/ua-client-hints/ will fix this by killing User-Agent headers.

ua-ch might reduce the amount of data browsers send, though it's gonna take a while to move away from regular user agents: https://wicg.github.io/ua-client-hints/

Mozilla alters stance on User-Agent Client Hints from “non-harmful” to “harmful”
