You forgot the pop-ups, forced midi music, easily injected malware, difficulty in verifying sources, html frames that frequently broke, the entire concept of needing a site map, fucking keywords, true banner ads that could force clicks with Javascript, and RealPlayer to name a few.

No, I didn't forget anything. It was still better even despite all that.

Besides, getting RealPlayer videos to play on Redhat 6 was half the fun.
