I tried a few browsers advised earlier in MacRumors OpenBSD thread, and non=

I am an avid user of both Mac OS X with MacPorts and OpenBSD on multiple G5=
 machines and find it amazing to see how much is still possible with them!
Since you use G5s,

1. Any change of making ppc64 to work? That would be a deal-breaker.
2. I have issues trying to install OpenBSD on G5 even in 32-bit version for=
 some reason. It installs, but then freezes after some time, and attempts t=
o revive it fail (kernel panic, more freezes). After reinstalling three tim=
es I gave up. The machine works perfectly with macOS though.
