I was just looking something up on caddyserver.com, which is not a retro website by any means. But, when I got to the very bottom of the page, I saw some classic browser buttons that I haven't seen in a very long time. And a hit counter, too! It made me smile.

I like this site more than I care for.

My favorite that I had on my site for a while because I was coding purely manually in html, was a tile that said “Made with NOTEPAD.EXE!”

God that brings me back to middle school computer classes and hacking together your own websites with basic HTML.

Same here. Thinking about that class just now, I remembered the name of one of the sites that we were told to use to find GIFs and animated buttons. I think it was called "animation factory."

Well there is an https://www.animationfactory.com/ and it has exactly the types of GIFs I was thinking of. More classics right there.

Oh, that's a lovely easter egg for those who read through to the footer. And if the Internet Explorer banner wasn't obviously sarcastic before, it sure is now, three years after the browser reached end of support 🤣
