It really depends on which browser you are using... 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.
To clarify, Safari is a fine browser on later versions of OS X; specifically ones that Apple still releases security patches for.
Safari
On Snow Leopard, Safari cannot be upgraded past version
5.1.10.
Wikipedia articleFireFox
It appears that you can install the latest version of FireFox, according to the system requirements for FireFox 37 page on mozilla.org
Google Chrome
Google Chrome's official download page says that the latest version runs on
ryebreadryebread10.6.x

You cannot upgrade Safari beyond 5.1.10 on Snow Leopard.
At the moment, if you want a modern browser, your only option is Firefox. Safari on Snow Leopard is too outdated and many pages refuse to work (like youtube). Chrome does not work (I've tried it), despite Google claiming on their page that it should work on 10.6.8.
I've tried a number of other alternative browsers like Vivaldi, Midori, Pale Moon, QupZilla, Opera etc. and none of them support Snow Leopard.

I am still using an old Macbook 1.1 as well. This cannot be upgraded past Snow Leopard. Safari works but there are a lot of issues with it that I have given up the gas on it. Chrome no longer works and Firefox now is no longer supported (So much for their open web mantra). The only option that I can find is Sea Monkey. It works but there are issues with it. Videos in social media sites like Facebook don't always play. It can crash, but remember Sea Monkey is a browser suite of software products not just a browser. So the best option is to make sure you have very little open in the background. Also keep in mind your Mac is around 10 years old. That is a long time for a free lunch. So bear in mind to upgrade your Mac soon. It doesn't have to be the latest and greatest. There are still a lot of macs second hand that can run Sierra.

Although unsupported google chrome is working fine on my mac book pro with 10.6.8, I've used opera also and have had good results. And I've had no issues yet with my safari other than inadvertently deleting it.
