These days most (all ?) official websites require a minimal browser version
unavailable for98SE , even +kernelEx.

Can't accept this is impossible and so be convicted to a continued nerve
wrenching struggle with the new (Up to date?) ms OS.

Any one a solution?

Financial websites require their clients to use the latest browser for a
very good reason - which involves the safety of your money.

However some websites require it mainly for safety, not functionality. So,
some sites may not actually require modern web features that newer browsers
provide.

Some sites can be fooled into thinking that you're using the latest browser
version. i.e. User-Agent spoofing. But bear in mind that it'll only fake the
browser version number and browser engine name (e.g. WebKit, Gecko,
Trident).

If the site actually use some modern web features that the current older
browser doesn't yet provide, the site will be broken - either broken on its
main functions (e.g. navigations, forms, etc.), or broken on its unimportant
functions (e.g. ads, animations, etc.).

Good webmaster will not make their site be fooled by User-Agent spoofing.
Otherwise, there are many browser extensions to spoof the User-Agent.

Try that, or use newer browser under linux.
