How to make the new actually used websites, for a.o. online banking, work
using win98se

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?
Tia, Luke

What's an "a.o."?
Antagonistic Aardvark?
Automated Orangutan?
Apples (+) Oranges?

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.

"account of" according to Encarta dictionary.
Or it could be "as of"? (not in Encarta)

Antagonistic Aardvark?


That's "a.a.".

Automated Orangutan?


In a bank?

Apples (+) Oranges?


You may get those when opening an new bank account.

Opera 12.02 is, to my knowledge, the most "advanced" browser that runs
moderately well on win-98 systems with KernelEx. When I have to
interact with a website and Firefox 2 or Netscape 9 don't work, I will
use Opera 12.02 and almost always it will work.

You can download Opera 12.02 he

For online banking;

Windows Vista+SP2 or higher
Microsoft Internet Explorer 8
or higher
Mozilla Firefox: the
latest version (latest official version from Mozilla)
Google Chrome: the latest
version (latest official version from Google)

OS X 10.8 or higher
Safari: the highest version
(latest official version from Apple)
Android 2.3.3 or higher


For my Bank (KBC) Linux strangely isn't even mentioned. :-(

Installed on Vista PC, better than expected, some times slow but OK.

On PC running 98SE + KernelEx 4.5.2 Install Stuck.
"Could not read SFX configuration or configuration not found."
is as far as it goes.
