    Yeah that’s not how I remember the early Internet.
    More like gifs everywhere, wild colours, you have to have that fancy html marquee! And terrible layouts, because aligning divs is difficult.
    Good times

        I mean, it may be subjective, but Internet was open to public in '93, and divs were specced in '97.
        It was more of a joke anyway. The layouts were often tables long after divs if I’m not mistaken

          Yeah, definitely subjective, but to me the early days of the web were before HTML 2 - so up to 1995.

          And yeah, so many tables for a long time… Mostly because it was a bit messy to work with and had limitations, not to mention browser support requirements and a pretty fast moving sets of specs…

          It was fun though.
