Windows 98se has always been my go-to OS for my vintage builds. Up until the overhaul of Vogons.org recently, I was still able to log in and post from my 486 running Win98se and using Firefox 2! I also have Opera 9 installed but tend to get better results from Firefox.

Anyone have any other browser recommendations for Win98se? I tried K-Meleon last night, and even after installing KernelEx and setting it to Win2kSP4, it still doesn't seem to work. I'm sure there must be something else that someone here is having better luck with?

Kernelex works with Firefox 9 and Opera 12. I had better luck with Opera 12, though, and it still mostly loads modern sites.
