It is divided into these sections:
References for coding websites
Many websites may not be totally compatible with any of those web browsers, but that's because their webmasters (the commonly used term for the programmer of a webpage) neglect to follow WWW Consortium Standards. You should write the webmaster of any website that doesn't follow those standards and let them know that the web is more than just for Windows users, and that following those standards will help their web pages be more accessible. First off, those who can't afford another operating system, can now see their website as viewed from nearly every browser on the planet at Browsershots.org.
A great page on helping webmasters become more crossbrowser compatible is Anybrowser.org. Others include Webstandards.org, and Webmonkey.
Mac users may be interested in Pure-Mac's Editors - Software for Macintosh for a variety of webpage editors for the Mac
Meanwhile if the webmaster doesn't respond, here are links to all the major web browsers for the Mac and tools to make them work more efficiently. In addition to requesting webmasters to make websites more compatible, let the authors of the web browsers know when a website doesn't work. Below the table below are Java updates.
The contact link to the various web browser authors is in the table below next to each web browser:

A WINE version for Intel Macs offers some I.E. 7 compatibility. | The Mac OS X version 5.2.3 is available from Majorgeeks. There are several stores which carry old Apple operating system disks which also included Internet Explorer for Mac OS X. If installing older operating system disks, be sure to observe the System Specific installation notes.

The included Internet Explorer for Mac OS 9 on restore disks and Mac OS 9 installer disks is version 5.0. Remember if installing Mac OS X, only an Archive and Install and Upgrade and Install will let you preserve applications from previous versions of Mac OS X on the hard disk. Otherwise, you'll need to either use the Install Additional Applications from the restore disks, or Charlessoft's Pacifist to extract the files from the installer packages to reretrieve Internet Explorer (if it wasn't backed up elsewhere).

Waterfox - Mac OS X 10.7.5 compatible Firefox, This tip was written on Apple Support Communities: 'It's October 2017 now, and I run the current version of Waterfox (55.2.2) on OS X 10.7.5. It's derived from Firefox, but is is less tardy than Firefox. I like that the Reader mode has speech output tied to OS X's voices and that it automatically chooses the correct language as well - if only it wouldn't crash sometimes for some reason.. Important for Youtube: If Youtube videos don't play in Waterfox (giving you a playback error message) you will have to deactivate the Multiple Process feature in Waterfox's preference settings.' | Contact info | |

You can run PC web browsers on the Mac if you use one of these Intel operating systems on the Mac solutions. Note however, any website which requires you use Internet Explorer for Windows is unlikely to be a very secure website, given the number of times such websites have been hacked.
Java Updates
Note: Java versioning may confuse some people when someone refers to Java 7, they really mean Java 1.7.x. Versions on Apple download site usually refer to the 1.x versioning.Java version 7 has had a security flaw which is documented on my tip user tip on Apple's Support Communities. Apple explains the latest Java available for Mac OS X 10.4, and 10.5, at Article TS3489.
The latest Java exists for Mac OS X 10.6.8 and 10.7.3 and addresses some of the Flashback trojan issue. For the 10.6.8 download go to DL1516.
Java for 10.7.3 and later is supported by http://www.java.com/
The latest Java for 10.5.8 is http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1359
And for 10.7 go to Oracle's Java page. Apple has a guide to the latest Java updates on their Technote Database. Not all Javas are Mac compatible without Emulation or Virtualization as ActiveX was only developed for Windows, and is not a true Java. Any site that uses ActiveX should be criticized for not using an open standard of Java. Java support may be improved 10.2.3 combo or 10.2.4 through 10.2.6 combo updates, Java update for Mac OS X 10.3 to Java 1.4.1, Java update for 10.3.4 to 1.4.2, Java Update for 10.3.9, Java 2 Platform Standard Edition (J2SE) 5.0 release 1 for Tiger, Software Update search for latest Java updates
The Carbon Java Plugin, and Java Embedding Plugin are both different plugins which can be used to make certain Java sites more accessible in some Mac OS X web browsers. I would be careful not to run both at the same time.
Similarly with Flash, its security has come into question, and my user tip on Apple's Support Communities discusses how and why. .This discussion on Apple Support Communities explains how to install Flash 11.5 on older browsers.
Numerous animations, including some Youtube animations require Flash. Older browsers may be compatible with newer versions of Flash, but possibly not the newest version. Adobe has aPast versions of Flash download page. Also ClicktoFlash allows you to have control over which websites you allow to load Flash.
A similar problem to that which exists for web browsers, is that most e-mail programs don't have complete support for web browser standards. As a result, getting HTML e-mail can be problematic at best. There is an excellent site that discusses the issues of HTML e-mail at Birdhouse.org. Among them there are security, accessibility, and design elements which simply don't render the same way on all e-mails. If you receive HTML e-mails and have no option to receive text, I recommend contacting the company that sends such e-mails and ask for a link to the webpage which has those documents. Attachments are also problematic as my Mac OS X page reference discusses. It is better for any document being transmitted via e-mail that can't be represented by ASCII text to be saved to a website and referred to by a link in an e-mail, than attempts to render information in e-mail which can't be universally read.

Safari
Based on WebKit engine, Safari comes from Apple itself. It is the default browser of Apple just like Internet Explorer of windows. It is available since 2004 and is serving its purpose pretty well.
Some of the best features that it comes up with is the Nitro Javascript feature which makes it almost 10 times faster than Internet Explorer and four times faster than Firefox. Also, its speculative loading makes it load docs, files, and much more in a fraction of seconds.

Its user interface is minimalistic making it compatible for the users to use it as per their convenience. It's instant search capabilities are another add-on.

Torch
Torch browser is basically for Mac that is quite different from the others out there. Torch Media developed it and is based on the Chromium open source code.
The functionality of the Torch is very wide. It allows the users to share the websites and various such information using the social network and many more. It comes with a built-in torrent client that will allow there to download any sort of torrent file easily.
Download Torch from here
Opera
Opera, developed by Opera software and is one of the best browsers for Mac. Opera is available in a total of 42 languages and works well with Windows, Mac OS, and Linux too.
More than 350 million users use the software and are satisfied with the functionalities. It also makes blocking and popping easily to process. Opera is fast and is much convenient for one to use. The good performance makes it a choice to go for. Also, this one is my personal favourite and I recommend all of you to at least try it once.
Download from here
Firefox
Mozilla foundation made Firefox which is a free and open source application. Firefox is available for people to use since 2002 and is one of the best browsers for Mac.
Some of its primary features are spell checking options, live bookmarking, smart bookmarks, a download manager, and many more. It comes in 79 languages making it global for anyone to use. The pop-ups and grid option make it a much better choice for adding any sort of bookmarks easily.
Download FireFox from here
Vivaldi
Vivaldi is a very new browser that made its major release in the year 2016. Vivaldi is meant to follow some goals and accomplish it as well. It is more or less similar to Google Chrome. It uses the same rendering process as Google Chrome does.
It is power packed with features making it more reliable and fun to use. Vivaldi has its own set of tabs that can be used to on their own. They are generally known as Stacks.

SeaMonkey
Download Netscape Browser For Macbook Pro 2012
Well, gone are the days when the only browser choices that people had were Internet Explorer and Netscape. They sure were mainstream and still are considered as the best browsers. SeaMonkey is a modified version of Netscape and is a component of the application.
SeaMonkey has a pretty much easy scrolling functioning. It is far better than the older versions of Firefox. However, the gestures pretty much don't function as they should making it a little of a trouble.
Download SeaMonkey from here.
Omni Web
When it came to best browsers, this was nowhere in the list back 15 years ago. It was up for sale to Mac users for around $40 making it sound more incredible than it is. But now, Omniweb is completely free to use and download just like any other web browser in the list.
The design that Omni web follows is strictly based on the Cocoa user interface of Apple. Overall, Omniweb is by far one of the best examples of how a Mac app should look and feel like. It is a shining example and everything coming with it makes it worth the experience. It also helps the users to create settings for individual web platforms if they want.
