ProtoWeb
A service for vintage computing: an HTTP proxy that serves restored 1990s websites to period-appropriate old browsers. You point a vintage browser or emulator at the proxy and browse the early web from its cache of restored sites; there is no API and we link to it only. Of interest when you want to experience old sites on the software of their day. Currently degraded and may show a CAPTCHA.
