Lots of early web browsers defaulted to a grey background instead of white. Netscape was one of them (and is the browser depicted in these screenshots).

Back in the 90's, "internet CDs" provided an offline glimpse into the fledgling web. Now, they are valuable time capsules of what the web once was. Archive95 is an effort to consolidate these CDs, as well as other data troves, into a unified web archive. archive95.net

Hi Bluesky! I'm building an archive of the 90's internet using old/obscure collections of web content you've probably never heard of. It contains over 130,000 archived URLs - more than half of which predate the Wayback Machine's inception in 1996! You can check it out here: archive95.net
