What else is there?

Yes, I know there is Opera, but I have strongly disliked that browser
dating back to the 1990's, to present, and the latest versions dont run
in Win98.

Is there anything left?

Win98 workd just fine for all my other needs, it's just that there dont
seem to be any browser that works properly anymore....

I'm not about to change my OS. *I really can not stand any of the newer
MS OSs. *Maybe the time has come to just abandon the web, and only use
email and usenet. *The web has become pretty much a huge advertisment
anyhow, and it seems that facebook has become most of the web, which I
want no part of.... *But there are still times I do find the web useful
for looking up something....


I use Opera 9.64 on Win98 and can visit/view most websites. I've even
gotten downloaded videos from youtube that friends tell me they
couldn't get a copy of, only view real time. A few of the very
'pesky' new websites won't work, like those requiring MS Silverlight,
but I fire up the WinXP system every few months to get that info. But
day to day, Opera.
