What about browser support? How long will the latest Chrome/Firefox run on Mavericks?
I couldn’t live without the latest Adobe CC as well. I fell like sticking to old OSs is less and less viable these days.
- Wowfunhappy 7y agoChrome doesn't run on Mavericks, but Firefox does. I can't say how long that will last, but I can look at what's available on even older versions of OS X as a guide: Mountain Lion and Lion can run Firefox Legacy, which is just a lightly edited branch of mainline Firefox: https://parrotgeek.com/fxlegacy.html https://parrotgeek.com/fxlegacy.html Snow Leopard can run ArcticFox: https://github.com/wicknix/Arctic-Fox https://github.com/wicknix/Arctic-Fox And Tiger and Leopard can run TenFourFox: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/ ArcticFox and TenFourFox don't quite have 100% compatibility, so they wouldn't be ideal, but they're still very usable. So while browser support is definitely my biggest concern, I suspect there will continue to be options. It's also worth mentioning that the reason Firefox hard can't run on Snow Leopard or below is because Rust doesn't work below 10.7. Yet another possibility is running Google Chrome in Wineskin. For Adobe, I'm stuck on CS6 anyway because I'm never paying for Creative Cloud. And I'm increasingly eying the Serif suite, which supports Mavericks.
