I can't believe it, but it's true! It looks like browsing the modern web on PowerPC isn't dead quite yet.
PowerFox is an FF-based browser released earlier this month with a target platform of Snow Leopard. Just a couple days ago though, they released a beta build for Leopard which runs on PowerPC G4 or G5 hardware. JIT isn't implemented (yet?) so I don't know how well it will perform compared to TFF. Since it's got a newer browser engine, it should at least be able to render websites which no longer work on TFF or InterWebPPC.
I'd love to try this out myself, but unfortunately I'm away at college until March and I didn't bring any PowerPC hardware with me. Curious to see how well it performs for y'all.
