Brave is a web browser that uses components from Chrome to build a more security-conscious browser which also has an alternate advertising mechanism with revenue sharing.
Like Chrome, it’s missing fundamental things.

Apple stops providing support and a download for old hardware. However, it is possible to force an install. The project that is responsible for this magic has achieved something truly spectacular, making it trivially easy using this GUI software.
WARNING: This is an extremely stupid and dangerous process to attempt without reading, understanding, and preparing the whole process up front. See #.spiralofhope.com/83891/opencore-legacy-patcher.html#plan. It really is very easy and works 100% for “only fairly ancient” hardware, but “very ancient” hardware might not be fully supported (yet?).

A capable and fast programmer’s editor.
It’s capable and fast, but not being able to disable the recent files list is a killer for me.

Homebrew: geany
Chocolatey: geany

Geany is a GTK2 (GUI) text editor which is light and featureful. Here is a sampling of features from their about page:
- Syntax highlighting
- Code folding
- Symbol name auto-completion
- Construct completion/snippets
- Auto-closing of XML and HTML tags
-
Call tips
This is a editor that does such magical things as use control up/down to skip paragraphs. I love it for in-page bookmarking, code folding, search-replace, escaped-replaces and regular expressions for selections, documents and groups of documents.

geany-pluginsis important.. -
I also (sometimes) use Leafpad.
