Man. The 90s internet was so much better than 2026’s internet. Now it’s all commercialised and everyone is on shittok and faecesbook. In the 90s everyone had their little corner of the web. You’d go to someone’s page and they’d have every model of steam train ever conceived. Now it’s all 2 minute long shittoks about how often they shit. Ugh. I want the 90s back
You can’t tell me anything about Altavista because I was there back in the day, and there were some more like it, but so are today that have no ads, privacy focus, ethical focus, etc.
The best choice is not always the most popular.
Google had no ads until SEO and Google Adsense became a thing but the whole internet was full of websites running pop-ups like crazy, and Flash ads that were so dangerous for any machine.

That’s just nostalgia, 90s internet was full of ads too
You completely missed the point of my comment.
You may be interested in why Google became so popular compared to alta vista, the dominant search engine for a while.
No ads and just a clean fast loading search page. So of course, ironic that its now a billion dollar company based on ads.
