A new community effort is working to bring the Brave browser and the Electron runtime to macOS 12 Monterey, allowing older Intel Macs to run modern software. The work has been tested on a 5,1 Mac Pro and a 2010 MacBook Pro.
The project aims to extend the useful life of Intel-based Macs that Apple no longer supports with current system updates. By keeping these machines on Monterey, users can continue to run newer applications that would otherwise require a more recent version of macOS.
Migrating modern Electron-based apps is not a simple, push-button process. Users will need to follow the instructions provided on the project's website, and some manual steps are involved. However, the documentation and software linked there are designed to get most of the way to a working setup.
The project's resources are available at stayonmonterey.fyi, where interested users can find the migration guides and tools needed to get started.
