Thanks Paul : Somebody (perhaps you) already suggested Opera. And yes I have installed it and it does 'work'.
I didn't want to put my 'personal' problems on the list, but ah well: Opera is now trying to route through some proprietory ADSL box . . . and I'm trying to understand the opaque instructions about the box's firewall. I am quite used to tweaking firewalls on servers and on benchtop machines, but the box seems to have its own 'little tricks'. So thanks, but it's back to reading the manual, I fear ...
