Default Firefox 3 , Opera 10 on Win98SE

Under Win 98SE, I got both Firefox 3.6.8 and Opera 10.61 installed.

I like Firefox as my default browser , but Opera just opens up so more
more quickly (within 3-4 seconds) and displays pages more rapidly. For
me, Firefox takes 10-20 seconds.

Is this the same in your environment?

And that why you should use Opera is the default browser!

Opera is the one and only that do Faxes for win98
http://www.opera.com/docs/changelogs/windows/1061/

Like Premature shutdown occurring on startup of Opera under Windows 98
Fixed.

Firefox will tell you to upgrade to a newer windows like XP and up
for Firefox will not do Faxes for win98.. ME or the 2000s

My environment has been fur-free since I played with FFox for a
short while and decided it was the most overrated app after MS
Office. It's nice of them to make 3.6.8 98-compatible, unless
you are running Kernel Ex to use it, which may be the reason for
your slow performance. Kernel Ex is a waste of time, you're
better off installing XP on another partition. (You DO have
partitions, right?)

Anyway - Opera rules and always has. THE best browser. For a
/simple/ (No Fla**** or Java****) browser 10x faster than Opera,
www.offbyone.com

Most people are just not willing to spend the time it takes to
learn how to use Opera.

Thanatoid
www.offbyone.com Most Recent: V3.5.d 2-Jan-06 mm 4 years old!

Opera 10.61 , 30 days old
and now coming out with Opera 10.70 for win98

offbyone It was 10 x faster than Opera.
But not faster than Opera 10.61 running on win98
Opera 10.70 is 100 x faster than Off By One Web Browser with the coming of
HTML5 support.

So as HTML5 come out, its good to see a Web Browser like Opera for
windows 98

Can offbyone Web Browser that is 4 years old do HTML5 support as fasts as
Most Recent Browser I do not thank so.
For offbyone Web Browser say: it is fastest web browser with full HTML 3.2
support mm that is old and out of date.

But we see you Thanatoid at the Opera News Server you Opera lover you
........LOOL
