TenFourFox is one of the more impressive pieces of software I've seen. It has its own JIT and accelerated codecs and recently, a toolbox of handy features beyond what Firefox ESR provides as well. It's able to run modern JavaScript applications, very slowly, on my original 300Mhz iBook G3, a computer that's nineteen (!) years old. I hope it sticks around a bit longer yet.

The form factor has never been equaled, and the springs in the arm are still going great. The JIT does work on G3, but unfortunately you won't get much benefit from the accelerated codecs as there's no AltiVec. But, at least the G3 version has compiler tuning. Just watch out for the creator, he's a bit of a jerk.
