For those with MacOS 9, it is a fairly safe assumption that most have Microsoft Internet Explorer 5, as it was the default browser when the operating system was current. MSIE 5 for the Mac isn't the worst browser ever released, and it supports some CSS for 'modern' website designs.
- In the case of most of the system downloads for Mac OS 9, there is this link: and In event the link doesn't work, go to to find it. For this link, the example site is: If you are looking for the 9.2.2 download, the direct link from that page is Clicking through First on the page you will find North American English, 9.2.2, 21.3MB.
- Installing Internet Explorer 9 on your Mac – using nothing but free software. Head over to the VirtualBox download page and download. Apr 14, 2014 — Testing multiple versions of Internet Explorer is possible from any OS including Mac and Linux using free VMs from modern.ie.
Download Internet Explorer For Mac Os 9 Iso
I just read that Microsoft will no longer support
Internet Explorer for Macs and recommends the use of
Safari. Is Safari compatable with OS 9.1? If it is,
can I download it from the Apple download site?
Yes you can download it (I'm pretty sure) but no, it won't work with OS 9. Safari and Firefox are OS X only.
If not, is Netscape my only option?
You can also try Mozilla, iCab and some others. There's been several questions like this one recently so if you browse down this forum a ways you'll see some of the suggestions.
Why do some people prefer Netscape over Internet Explorer?
I don't have any statistics on this, but I'd say that probably more people went with IE than Netscape. One of the main issues was memory management problems Netscape had. One advantage of Netscape is that there is a newer release that will work with OS 9 than IE, so you won't be quite so far behind. Personally I run IE 5.1.7 and have Netscape 6 for when I really need it.
Can I safely
transfer my favorites to the Netscape bookmarks and
then alternate between the two systems if I
choose?
I can't really answer this one. Some browsers provide features that let you import bookmarks from other systems but I'm not sure which versions of which browsers will let you. You'd have to check that out.
