Some examples that I remember are:
- The Berkshire Hathaway’s website (https://berkshirehathaway.com/)
- The UNIX website (https://unix.org/version4/)
- Xorg Project website (https://www.x.org/wiki/)
- Marginalia Web Search (https://search.marginalia.nu/)
- W3C (World Wide Web Consortium) pages containing Standards (e.g.: https://www.w3.org/TR/controller-document/)
- Pd (Puredata) Project Website (https://puredata.info/)
All of them, if you browse with Links.
For better experience I recommend
elinks.
Still in active development.pretty sure links is just a link to elinks now in most distros.
LYNX v2.9.2 released in May 2024.
I haven’t visited in a long time – but I can’t imagine Craigslist has changed much.
It has not, though there really isn’t much posted there anymore. Facebook marketplace has replaced it for most stuff. :(
This was mentioned on another post a few months ago, but it depends on your locale. In some places, it’s Craigslist. Others, FB Marketplace.
What about craigslist casual encounters? I’d love to see facebook’s attempt at that.
Facebook dating? Lol
Facebook one night stands.
Depends where you live.
Craigslist is slightly cleaner looking that it used to be but the functionality and button placement is identical. I much prefer it to Facebook marketplace or OfferUp.
I was there, Gandalf, when we named hosts after your horse and didn’t pronounce the “dot” in “.com”
4-ch.net (not to be confused with 4chan) is a 90s BBS that is still online and occasionally active. It’s neat to see posts from the 90s still on the front page.
wow nobody mentioned https://www.lingscars.com/
Debian’s website….
hey, thats not fair, they redid it a few years back /s
No JavaScript sites on onionland
Extremely useful website for collectors of dead media formats (LD, D-VHS, HD-DVD, CED, VHD, etc.) Still has an old style interface with priority given to function and utility over styling. Also has a storefront where you can buy and sell discs.
Ebay
I imagine their source code is such an unmaintainable mess that it’s impossible to modernize
it was written in FORTRAN
That is probably the best website on the internet!

https://www.dieselsweeties.com/ - robots and people comic
https://realultimatepower.net/ - ninjas
Has Real Ultimate Power actually changed at all/added new content? I was reading that in elementary.
Nope, exact same html.
I see YouTube videos linked, and I remember being on this site before YouTube existed. I don’t think it has changed all that much, though.
