• Status: RESOLVED

I use PowerPC G5 Dual 2.3 GHz, with Mac OS X 10.5.8. Photos.google.com not supportet my Safari 5.0.6. and gave my advice to install different browser...

Sorry to hear that!

If Google decided to drop support for Safari 5.0.6, I don't see what we can do about that, unfortunately.

than You for your answer. I forgot to write that I use WeBKit r187880 with Safari.

I'm a little confused here.

By the time 187880 existed - 8 months ago in Aug 2015 - the nightlies only supported 10.9 and 10.10, and we'd long since dropped PowerPC support.

How are you running a 187880 on a PowerPC Mac running 10.5?

It was simple. :) I was looking for a way to continue to use the internet using my old PowerPC. I found a WebKit-600.8.10_2-Leopard-PowerPC.dmg and I used it I'm using it, in accordance with readme.txt. By the way, I think that the abandonment of support for the owners of these computers is a shame for Apple.

I see.

That's *DEFINITELY* unsupported by the WebKit project.

As Alexey already mentioned, if Google wants to cut off access to such an old version of Safari, that's pretty much up to them.

If you want a feature in leopard-webkit to override user agents and pretend to be a newer Safari on a newer OS X, you'll have to ask the maintainers of the https://sourceforge.net/projects/leopard-webkit/ project.

Thank You...
