You should be able to use your Apple gear as long as it helps you remain productive and meets your needs, upgrading only as necessary.

It never supported OS X 10.4 Tiger and initially required OS X 10.5 Leopard, which it abandoned on Sept.

Version 39 (Nov. 2014) left behind 32-bit only Macs (Core Solo and Core Duo models from 2006), although it worked just fine on 64-bit Macs running OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard.

Google Chrome 10.8 Update To A

At that time, we strongly encouraged users on older, unsupported platforms such as Windows XP to update to a supported, secure operating system.

Such older platforms are missing critical security updates and have a greater potential to be infected by viruses and malware.

Starting April 2016, Chrome will continue to function on these platforms but will no longer receive updates and security fixes.

Firefox 4 didnt support OS X 10.4 Tiger at all.

That was way back in 2010.

Firefox 16 works with OS X 10.5 Leopard, but version 17, released Nov.

Firefox still supports OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard with version 44 and looks like it will continue to do so.

Thats probably one of the big reasons people using older versions of OS X are looking to Chrome and Firefox instead of Safari.

Google Chrome 10.8 Download OS X

Thats why you can download OS X for free starting with 10.9 Mavericks (the first version since 10.6 that Ive used because of this).

Maybe its simply that Google Chrome is the most popular browser in the world, so what if you lose a few legacy users.

The Mozilla team has not announced its intention to leave behind OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard users, at least not yet.
