Oldweb Today: Recreate Early Internet Experience

A web browser that recreates the look, feel, and experience of using the early internet in the 1990s, with limited styling, tables for layout, animated gifs, and more.

What is Oldweb today?

Oldweb Today is a web browser that transports users back to the early days of the internet in the 1990s. It recreates the retro look and feel of the web from that era - complete with grainy images, bright background colors, animated gifs, midi soundtrack, and websites displayed as they looked originally, with table-based layouts and limited styling.

The browser opens to an old-school portal page with directories of sites from the 90s that have been archived. Users can browse through categories like news, entertainment, sports, games, and more. When launching a site, Oldweb Today loads a snapshot of what that domain looked like decades ago. It's a digital time capsule of GeoCities pages, early search engines, old company sites during their infancy, and online communities long since forgotten.

Beyond just displaying old web pages, the entire experience of using Oldweb Today is like going back in time to the early internet. It has an interface inspired by browsers like Netscape and Internet Explorer 5, complete with icons, fonts, cursors, graphics, sounds, and other components highly reminiscent of that era. Users can customize the toolbars, change the MIDI music, and tweak the experience to match their nostalgic memories of the 90s web.

Overall, Oldweb Today offers a throwback to the early days of the internet before sites became slick and overdesigned. It recalls an age of simplicity, experimentation, garish colors, and innocent fun. For those who miss when the web felt more like the Wild West frontier, it's a chance to return.
