No.

Firefox - a browser that actually works better than IE 6
has for the past 5 years.


ALL other browsers work better than IE.



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


I don't like Firefox - its interface and the fact you need 15
plugins (many lowering its security) to make it do what it
should out of the box make it unacceptable. Cute firegirl in the
logo, though.

I use Opera@10USB. Installs by unzipping into a USB drive OR
your HD (which is how I use it). Runs perfectly right off the
bat. I had no problems with the Flash ver 9 rejection that many
people reported, but the "see ver 9 as ver 10" (after upgrading
to the Adobe- provided security release of 9) hack (recently
mentioned here) seems to take care of it in 99% of the cases.

I have not tried the 10.60 version. If something is perfect, why
bother with "upgrades"? I used Opera 7.23 until half a year ago
or so, because it was just fine, and even the new versions did
NOT fix the Flash plug-in crash problem. Opera USB /DID/ fix it.
