After battling long enough with Windows Ten Software as a Service Anniversary Falls Creators Edition, I have decided to go back to the only operating system that was ever truly flawless: Windows 98SE.

Knowing the internet, there's some fat nerd somewhere who's still maintaining a browser that runs on Windows 98. Unfortunately I was unable to find any with google. The only thing that wasn't IE3 that I found to somewhat run was a Firefox version from like 2008, and it can't even open this website which was designed during the MS-DOS 5.0 era or something.

dunno what old-rear end version of firefox that is but you can probably get at least tls 1.0 support and some modern ciphers working in about:config

Firefox inherited NSS from Netscape and continues to use it for SSL/TLS to this day. NSS exists because Netscape literally invented HTTPS.

I have a Macbook. I need something to run on a desktop. All linux distros are designed by people who seemingly find the concept of "human-usable GUI" baffling. I am not going to entertain the option of amiga. Therefore Windows is the only option., and 98 is the last version to not suck dick.
