I used to use Opera 6.03 under Mac OS 9, and I'm pretty sure it ran 
under Mac OS 8.6. It's a good browser, although a bit dated by today's 
standards. I used it because it was faster than the other browsers that 
ran under Mac OS 9.

OmniWeb is a purely Mac OS X product.

There are going to be problems running any of the really old browsers 
because they don't support the XML and newer HTML constructs that are 
in so many of the fancy Web pages. I also doubt whether there's an up 
to date Flash plugin.

Also, Java support has much improved since they were written. None of 
the older browsers were very good with Java. All the browsers under Mac 
OS X work quite well with Java because Apple has integrated it into Mac 
OS X instead of leaving it as a sorry afterthought, as in the old days.
