- WebKit in Safari 27 changes and notes, from the WebKit blog.
- Helium — My favorite Chromium browser for the Mac. Fast, free, no bloat.
- Camino — An open source Mac-assed web browser based on the Mozilla engine from the 2000s. Last updated in 2012, but, blessedly, the website still works. When it was discontinued I described it as “like a glass of ice water on a hot day for Mac users who wanted a modern but Mac-like browser in the early years of Mac OS X.”.

- Jason, writing at Macworld, on the foundation of Apple’s OS 27 updates.
- Jason, writing at Macworld, on Mac OS X Snow Leopard back in 2009. (The update cost $29 — which we thought was cheap, because previous Mac OS X updates cost $129.)
