Why would anyone connect Win95 or Win98 to the internet? Did I miss something?

If they can get "Chrome webrowser" to run on 98SE,
there is no problems with surfing on internet (it's all doing in browser),
and you are still behind you router's firewall.

It's more to show we don't need overbloated programs and OS's like Windows 7 and after and a "Chrome webrowser" install that is 800MB in filesize.

Microsoft should stopped at Win XP and made that in 64bit
(I now that they did make a 64 bit, but that was to ealy to market) but money talks

Just an FYI there was a Windows XP 64bit. But so early in the 64 bit game there was not much support drivers or programs.

I still have my XP 64 bit install DVD. :)

Yes, I have it installed to try it. :)

Micosoft believed that with they marketposition could push the market to 64 bit overnight.

Microsoft should just make a 16/32/64 bit version of Win XP instead of a clean 64bit.
 
Discord is another once useful bit of software that just got too big and bloated and sailed away rom its core role of a community chat client and some monster multimedia bloatware with a horrible ToysRUs/Teams interface.

Will I need a 14.4kbaud modem for this?
Use it twice, oh boy.. Now what? Really not for me I guess.
I have "Amiga forever" which is an Amiga-dos emulator. For the two time a year I actually use the Amiga side. Hundreds of primitive games that puts a smile on your face. Older than many of the users on Tom's.
 
Personally I just connect to Discord by going to Discord.com instead of yet another app. That being said, this may be one of those times when the app is legitimately more useful.
Also, some software doesn't work well on modern versions of Windows. One game I really enjoyed doesn't work well on Windows 10, even with a VM for some reason (Microprose's MTG game aka Shandalar). So maybe I'll just set up a 98SE box and go from there for old games and such.

What difference would it make?
Probably nothing. We would have the same Windows 11, only with the name Windows XP SP11.
No one is stopping you from continuing to run Windows 7 or any other OS.
