The PSU of my main computer died and I had to reactivate my old iMac G5... This is the moment when you feel lucky knowing this app: it became a blessing! It’s way faster than its nearer competitor TenFourFox. It lacks useful extensions such as uBlock Origin and uMatrix, but the old version of Ghostery is behaving well enough. Some sites with embedded audio and video players won’t work, but you can play Youtube quite all right, if you’re not running any other hungry program. Thanks again, Tobias! :-)

There are still updates (current being 604.5.6 r226588) but you have to dig into the repository to get the last one: https://sourceforge.net/projects/leopard-webkit/files/604/Leopard/PowerPC/ I wonder why the Download button on the main page still points to version 603.3.3, is it because the others are considered beta/rc? Or is it just an oversight? Anyway, they work perfectly! I'd say version 604.5.6 is actually better than 604.4.5 (there was a 20% CPU footprint that remained for a long while, now it's gone).

It's very nice to have the latest webkit running on my old G5, but what an irony that no one is doing the same job for 10.6 or 10.9...

The REALLY last 10.6 and Intel-compatible version is available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/leopard-webkit/files/537/%28Snow%29%20Leopard/ It's r171822 (537.78.2_4). As after Safari 5.1, webkit2 is completely different, the dev is now only working for 10.5.

In my experience, it's not easy to tell, between Safari and any subsequent Webkit version, if one works best, but very recently I found that some website was not rendering properly with Safari<v5.0.5 and Leopard WebKit fixed it! So thanks a lot Tobias! :-)

I'm having trouble updating the security certificates (a most useful feature from this release, let me add): administrator$ /Applications/Leopard\ webkit\ system\ wide/update\ system\ certificates.command ; exit; Please read the Readme before proceeding with this! Do you really want to replace the original system security certificates with the ones from OS X 10.9 (Y/N)? y In case you are prompted to enter a password, please enter the super user password Password: ditto: can't get real path for source ditto: can't get real path for source ditto: can't get real path for source ditto: can't get real path for source Password: logout [Process completed] ???? If I look at keychain I have 2 system root certificates (are not trusted) that start in 2012 and end in 2032, is this supposed to be like this?

If this really supports Snow Leopard, that is a great contribution. Kudos and applause for the developer. Apple has long abandoned updates to Safari to run on 10.6, while lots of third party browsers continue to support it. This lack of continued support, is probably one reason to avoid using Safari. However, it seems that there are separate downloads for separate Leopard and Snow Leopard versions. So, one wonders if maybe there ought not be a separate MacUpdate page for the Snow Leopard version? Currently, the MacUpdate download link seems to give one a Leopard only download. http://sourceforge.net/projects/leopard-webkit/files/ has the various OS specific installers. All of the downloads in the 600, 538 folders, say they are for Leopard Power PC. However, the 537 folder does have a mixture of Leopard and Snow Leopard installers.

Thanx again for keeping this browser alive for the few of us luddites that can't afford a new Computer! I was wondering if it would be possible for Webkit to see pages like this? The News section here won't load at all. I assume its because we old Leopard users don't have a recent enough Flash to go along with our Webkit, but I figured I'd, at least, ask. http://crooksandliars .com/2014/04/department-interior-asked-investigate-alec

I don't know how reliable is my trial, but here it is: This webkit side by side with Safari on an iMac G5, loading different pages, some full with heavy animated gifs, other more simple like this here MU page ;-) I loaded each page first in Webkit as it's supposed to be faster (and to avoid the possible cache effect, which should accelerater a second loading) Well, 'this is not a revolution' ;-) but it's generally ab it faster than Safari, though Monitor Activity shows the same footprint. It won't turn your G5 into an Intel Mac, but it's reliable, as far as I can tell, so why not use it? :-)

What seems odd to me... Is that there is a brand New updated Leopard Webkit for my G5 every few months... but no New Webkit or Safari or even a Security Fix for my Safari in Snow Leopard since 2012.

This works fantastic!!! Kudos to the WebKit Team! I assumed there would never be a decent Safari for PPC and yet, here it is! It is faster and better in so many ways, than the last FireFox for PPC and even Casino! The last version stalled and beachballed constantly. It would take 2 or 3 solid minutes just to Open the app and then it would beachball for 30 seconds to a minute every time I opened a new Window. It totally sucked... big time. And now these very generous folks have given my old doddering G5 a new lease on life! Highly Recomended!!! Thanx!!!

This particular version for G5 and G4 is probably the best browser available for the PPC Mac series. It is Safari 5.06 with the latest Webkit updates. A word to the wise. Follow the advice in the README from the folder after opening the .DMG The most current version of this application is here : http://leopard-webkit.googlecode.com/files/WebKit-536.28.8-Leopard-PowerPC.dmg

The current release is stable even with extensions on (I had only one crash, probably related to them) and looks, not faster, but more fluent than the original Safari webkit (10.5.8 PPC) — I don't recall having the Beach Ball of Death since I'm running it! ;-) I'm only using the app, for the time being, needs to try this as properly installed on my test-partition... But at least, for the app, you can go safe. If you hope to have a better video experience, don't hope too much as problems are generally related to Flash...

This is fantastic! 5.0.6 was the best ever version of Safari, and 10.5 is my favourite version of the Mac OS. Now I can keep running both of them until my current Macs die. Awesome!
