Well, this actually isn't an old game (by the definition you gave - old games are games that are more than 12 years old :\ ) but I saw on a forum that it's abandonware because (by the forum poster):

• You cannot buy this anywhere in the world
• The makers have abandoned the IP (Dungeon Keeper)
• The game is over 6 years old

Just Google for 'Dungeon Keeper 2 download' (sans quotes) because I don't want my comment to be removed because of abuse.

So in my opinion if they are abandoned (or they don't have to), the OSS approach works. Look what happened to WarZone2100 which was released in 2004 as open source :)

I think I answered that, because when FF2 gets obsolete in couple of months (yeah, obsolete means many sites turning it down) what will you do? Because upgrades cost money, and switching to another browser costs only the changing of the habits I'd personally choose the second one.

Yes, you have a point there, I can't say you are wrong, but I don't get why wouldn't you give up for something that is newer and works on your older machine (and is supported too) than use what you are used to, but get significantly slower browsing.

I certainly would give up from something that I am used to, to something that works better.

I mean, it's ridiculous: if you like Firefox you should upgrade to the 3rd version and if in any case your OS is older and it doesn't support Firefox 3 I see no reason not to use Opera which supports every OS from Win 95 to Vista and from OS X 10.0 to 10.5 (unlike Firefox 3 of course).

I see no need of using a browser whose support will end soon and with many people not using the latest version people who have popular websites (like Slashdot for an example) can just make the updates in their web pages slower because they'll see that FF2 is still used much and not add the so much wanted features (or they will work very slow in older browsers) because not a lot of people will use them. Yeah, they can say Upgrade to [insert a newer browser name here] but that won't make a lot of people update because they are lazy.

Why are you people so ignorant? Opera has a urlfilter.ini file which is located in your profile dir (most usually ~/.opera on GNU/Linux) which you can edit (and supports wildcards of course) by yourself or you can download a already made one (and constantly updated one too) here and it also includes an element hider which removes the whitespace from the blocked ads (on the same page). Other filters exist too.

If you just Googled "opera adblock" you'd find lots of results. Instead many people here and on Digg too are too ignorant to check the fact that Opera indeed has an adblock and it can be configured.
