I miss Web 1.0. You click a link, you get to the website, you read the content. What a concept.

well I had adblockers almost from the getgo, but I guess I did get a head start after being on the Arpanet since I was a baby coder

@darwinwoodka @dpk @jschauma I used 1995 on purpose. I was there :)

We didn't have much in the way of dynamic content in 1995, either.

I think the first time I saw a website working with JS was theglobe dot net in 1996.

The free browsers didn't get JS until a bit later.
