PowerFox 153 ESR

Hello everyone,

I’m proud to announce the future of PowerFox!

Starting today, PowerFox becomes PowerFox Classic.

PowerFox Classic continues the vision to bring a modern, secure, and open-source browser to Mac OS X 10.3-10.6 for PowerPC and Intel Macs. It will remain continually updated and I am currently working on new improvements that will be made available in a future release.

What I am introducing today is the new PowerFox. Built on Firefox 153 ESR, PowerFox is compatible with Mac OS X 10.7 Lion - macOS 10.14 Mojave and brings a phenomenal browsing experience to 8 major macOS releases. I am committed to provide regular updates to PowerFox 153 and will stick with the Mozilla ESR release cycle to ensure that the browser is always secure.

Additionally, I hope to eventually port PowerFox 153 down to Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. While I cannot guarantee that this port will be successful, I am reasonably confident that it can be done, and I hope to bring good news about this soon!

PowerFox 153 would not have been possible without i3roly for the Firefox Dynasty 149 patchset and aobaharuki2005 for inspiration on the toolchain. Thank you!

The new PowerFox is available as a beta from GitHub.
