I am a PowerPC user and i own a PowerMac G4 MDD Dual 867Mhz (with 2 gb ram & radeon 9000 pro, running Mac OSX 10.5.8 Leopard,) a PowerMac G4 AGP 400 Mhz (with 896mb & nvidia geforce4mx running Mac OSX 10.4.11 Tiger,) a PowerMac G4 Dual 450MHz (with 2 gb ram & nvidia geforce4mx running Mac OSX10.4.11 Tiger,) and a iMac special edition G3 600Mhz (with 1gb ram & rage 128ultra runnning Mac OSX 10.4.11)
My machines are "vintage" but still very usable. The Safari web browser is no longer being updated by Apple for PowerPC Macs but TenFourFox, a variant of the FireFox web browser is, and they stay in sync with the Mozilla Firefox releases and TenFourFox has 4 versions for PowerPC processors, one for the G3, two versions for the G4, and one version for the G5 and you will need Mac OSX Tiger or Mac OS X Leopard to run it. I have been using TenFourFox from the beginning and i love it! My PowerMac MDD can handle flash video but my other machines can't handle it so well (unless i lower the resolution to 240p in youtube) but tenfourfox along with the flashvideoreplacer set to use quicktime as a playback method plays videos super smooth on youtube.
So if you still use a powerpc mac and you are running at least Mac OSX Tiger, download Tenfourfox and give it a try! the url is: http://www.floodgap.com/software/tenfourfox/
Plugins are off by default but you could turn them on by entering the config and changing the values of the plugins to TRUE and the plugins will then be turned on.
My PowerPC Macs will keep on rocking for the near future!
