Isn't it ironic -- DL impossible under old OS #103

I just went to the download page on github to dl Arctic Fox for MacOs 10.6.8 here: https://github.com/wicknix/Arctic-Fox/wiki/Downloads

The link led me to a google drive page which... didn't load in my Waterfox 46.0.2.

No worries, because of course I have a more modern MacOS at hand. But seriously, this can put you in a difficult situation. I recently put life back into a MacBook2,1 with its maximum MacOS Lion and could hardly call any websites with the given and after a fresh installation only browser Safari.

So it's a good thing to find a low-specs website (that you can trust at the same time) that offers these old downloads.

Other than that: Thanks to the developers for Arctic Fox and similar projects.

It's not really an issue but an observation. (Well, you could argue not to provide DLs form google drive and other websites that need modern browsers for these kind of programs.
