Re: [Win98] Request for Browser Advice

I have never heard of Seamonkey. How do you like it? Where do you
get it?

I downloaded Netscape just in case my Firefox became corrupted
suddenly due to lack of upgrades, the way MS IE suddenly did within a
week of MS announcing that they would no longer maintain it. Not even
virus scans and spyware scans can clear IE. But Opera sounds better.
