You could try installing KernelEx and see if you can get Firefox 6 to run in it.

KernelEx allows you to run some programs made for XP under 98. You can download it from: http://sourceforge.net/projects/kernelex/files/KernelEx

You may also trying to get flash 10.3 to run on it.

I don't think flash or HTML5 pages should be viewed under win 98

Opera is the best modern browser available for the 9x series.

How much RAM do you have; bear in mind that an average page will require ~40MB of RAM for the rendering process, high levels of HTML5 usage will raise that.

tl;dr: browsing on old machines is useless.

I agree - Opera will run perfectly. I use Opera on my Pentium 1 laptop with Win95, faultless

On Windows 98 I tended to use Firefox but Opera is faster.
