OS 9
MacSurf 2.3 "OPEN TABS" brings real tabbed browsing, modern ES2023 JavaScript via macQJS, CSS Grid and Flexbox, WebP, SVG, and native TLS 1.3 to Macs from OS 8.6 through OS X 10.6.
Current release: MacSurf 2.3 "OPEN TABS" — real native tabbed browsing, a much larger JavaScript browser API surface, stronger dynamic-page reconstruction, improved CSS Grid and sizing, native WebP, expanded SVG, gzip networking, rebuilt Downloads, Preferences, Bookmarks and History, tighter HTTPS behavior, and extensive stability work. One click, free, no account.
Supports Mac OS 8.6 through Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. PowerPC Macs run MacSurf directly; Intel Macs can run the PowerPC build through Rosetta where available. Mac OS 9 remains the primary target and the environment most heavily tested on original hardware. Expand the StuffIt archive with StuffIt Expander and double-click to launch.

MacSurf is a full-time, one-person project. If it brought your old Mac back to the web, supporting on Patreon or Ko-Fi helps keep development moving. Supporters get access to weekly Beta-Box builds ahead of stable releases. Also on GitHub Sponsors, Discord and Bluesky.
