Meanwhile Firefox keeps going full force and Opera as well. IE too (if I'd bother to use it) in latest updated version.
Well done Google, clap clap.

Mavericks of course being the singular exception to the Apple upgrade cost rule... and probably designed to "encourage" people to get rid of early '08 and older Macs by cutting them off entirely from OS and software support.
Basically as samoht said... See if you can upgrade to OSX 10.6.x, it seems to be the "oldest" OSX that is widely supported right now.
I wasn't looking for a solution. I'm not upgrading an aging laptop simply because of a stupid message on one web site that I don't normally browse, plus I was able to click through and read the article anyway. I guess I should have put this in the fails thread.
You should get Linux.
Or ChromeOS. Then it's always current.
A subsequent test (such as I am conducting right now) actually suggests that would work. Though I using Wine not under Mac OS X, but rather under Ubuntu 12.04. But Firefox seems designed to run under Wine (perhaps better than under native Microsoft OS, one might suspect). And it will track and do the Firefox upgrades. And I was even able to install https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir.../its-all-text/ (worked with the Wine Notepad, though afterwards I installed and used http://www.vim.org/download.php ).
Is noticeably slow, but only a little slow.
Most annoying thing (in gVim under Wine) is that ctrl-[ does not work as ESC key.
Or I could just not go back to the LA Times.
