MacOS 10.6.8 is no longer supported by Apple, so software vendors are dropping support as well, which is an unfortunate part of the technology lifecycle. That takes Firefox and Chrome off the table.

I would recommend not using Safari on 10.6.8, since it is unsupported by Apple at this point, and the older versions of Safari have known compatibility / security issues. The best way to 'upgrade' would just be to install a third party browser (Chrome or FireFox, which I linked to below) and those issues should go away. I'm running 10.8.5 Mountain Lion on it via MLPostFactor but would love to use 10.6.8 Snow Leopard as it's more lightweight and easier on my Macbook's hardware. It is worth mentioning that I still use a 2007 stock Hitachi HDD. My only gripe with 10.6.x is the fact that it seems all browsers are just based on Firefox 1.6.

I usually keep my macs as long as I can. My only problem now is the browsers. Firefox, Chrome and Safari don't seems to want to support 10.5.8. At least FF and Safari run but there are some sites I visit that don't work well with those old versions and the new versions can't be installed on 10.5.8.
Any suggestions on a browser that will let my macs live a little longer?
