It depends, to make this as short and sweet as possible, it is considered one of the most If not the most aggressive openings in chess for both sides. If you like complications and like to wade through the deep waters of this opening then go ahead and try it, though hardly anyone plays the dragon. Not that the dragon is bad, just that there is way to much theory.

Both philosophically and practically, I liken the question to "Is sex fun even when not technically accurate?"

Bobby Fischer can refute a lot of openings. Just because Bobby FIscher can beat it doesn't mean your online chess opponent can.
