Default What Is The Best Win98 Internet Browser?

I am still running 98 on the wife's PC but so many secure browsers will not
run on 98.

What in the opinion of the users here is the best browser that still runs on
98?

Firefox 2.0.0.x and Opera 9.52 (and probably 9.63, the latest) still run
on my old Win98SE system.

The most secure (i.e. 100% secure) browser in existence is
OffByOne. It does NOT do fancy style sheets, flash, and
javascript, but it does do secure transactions on sites that
allow it in spite of not employing Java for it. And it's fast as
HELL.

I am using Firefox 2.0.0.20 on Win98SE. Even though Mozilla will not
continue to support FF2 browser itself, I am still getting updates to
my FF2 extensions. I will continue to use FF2, accomplishes everything
I want, blows away all the other browsers in my view.

Andy,

I am running Sea Monkey 1.1.14 [a version of Mozilla with a browser and E-mail server] This way you avoid both Microsoft's browser & E-mail.

I also use Sea Monkey and its bookmarks for linux.
