Which is the best browser for OS X 10.6

I have a Mac Pro 1.1 with OS X 10.6.8. Until recently I have used Firefox 45.9.0 ESR but it now fails to work on a few sites. In trying to find an alternative browser I have tried: ArcticFox, InterWeb, New Moon, PaleMoon, and SpiderWeb with the following results:

ArcticFox 27.11.0 - fast but fails to open some web pages

InterWeb 60.9.1 - works well but I can't open Advanced Preferences

New Moon 27.9.4 - fails to open some web pages

Pale Moon 28.15.0 - does not work with my OS X

SpiderWeb 2.2.1 - works well

Both InterWeb and SpiderWeb are adequate for the time being but I would be interested to know if there are any better browsers which work with OS X 10.6.

I think what you've listed is about what's available. 10.6 is simply too old to be supported by us in our current development.

OK - thanks - where do you list what is supported?

I have rarely met Mac software which fails to specify compatibility at point of download and often also in a downloaded ReadMe.

Which versions does it work with and are there older versions which work with OS X 10.6.8 ?
