This page summarizes the projects mentioned and recommended in the original post on /r/MacOS

Our great sponsors
  • InfluxDB - Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale
  • WorkOS - The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS
  • SaaSHub - Software Alternatives and Reviews
  • Arctic-Fox

    Web Browser for Mac OS X 10.6+, Linux (PowerPC, x86, amd64, ARM, MIPS), NetBSD, OpenBSD, and Windows XP.

  • For Snow Leopard, I've always used the Arctic Fox browser, just note that due to how old SL is some really new sites won't work (I know that the Canvas LMS doesn't work, for instance), but things like YouTube will work fine.

  • chromium-legacy

    Latest Chromium (≒Chrome Canary/Stable) for Mac OS X 10.7+

  • 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.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.
