2 other alternative web browsers for PPC users running Mac OSX 10.5 Leopard

I recently just learned of 2 other alternative web browsers for PPC Mac users-- for PPC Mac users running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard only:

Webkit, as we know is the core of browers like Apple's Safari, Chrome and other browsers.  Apple no longer updates Safari for PPC.  Luckily a lone Apple developer maintains a build for us PPC Mac users running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.

the homepage for the PPC Webkit build:  http://code.google.com/p/leopard-webkit/
the download page for the PPC Webkit:
download link for the more stable version: WebKit-536.18-Leopard-PowerPC.dmg
download link for the more experimental version: WebKit-536.19-Leopard-PowerPC.dmg

Aurorafox 10.5Fx is another browser option for us PPC Mac Users running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.  i was browsing the web and reading other Mac bloggers' blog and I learned of Aurofox 10.5Fx-- thank you macpowerpc.com!

Aurorafox 10.5Fx is similar to Tenfourfox exception it is designed for PPC Mac users running Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard.

Aurorafox 10.5Fx homepage: http://code.google.com/p/aurorafox/

For a more safer secure web browsing, use the https-everywhere extension! it is available for firefox (tenfourfox included!) and chrome. This extension forces https secure connection on all websites you got to and encrypts your internet connection. It is free and I strongly recommend everyone to use this.
