You can run this, but as someone who limped along on an old mac 7.5.5
system for too long (followed by limping along on OS 9.2.2 for too long
up until about 6 months ago), it's not particulrly fun dealing with most
commercial websites.  It's probably better than using lynx on many
sites, but not much.  Most old time hacker sites work pretty well, and
basically anybody willing to work to older web standards.
 
Of course it is certainly superior to sticking your fingers in your ears
and going "I can't! I can't!" all day long.
