ALL other browsers work better than IE.


What versions of Firefox and Opera are you running on
Windows 98SE?


I don't use Opera - never have.

Why not? at least for comparison?


Firefox version 2.0.0.20 was the last version that can run on a standard
installation of win-98. I think it's about 1.5 years old.

If you install KernelEx, you can install newer versions of Firefox like
3.what-ever. KernelEx is a shell/API helper that gives windows 98 the
ability to handle some software that normally requires Windows 2K or
XP. It can be downloaded from he

http://sourceforge.net/projects/kernelex/

And no, you don't need a lot of plugins to use firefox. Anyone who says
that is a hemorrhoid.


Pre-emptive abuse? Llap goch!


But I find that Firefox 2.0.0.20 works just fine on 99% of the sites I
surf.


Yup, Off-by-one is a bit limited these days.

Chrome is super, but sadly OT as it's not w98 compatible.
