Besides speed, what would actually suck about surfing the internet back in the day compared to now?

My pick would be, dealing with the 'wild west' atmosphere. That being, before cyber bullying laws existed, you had bunches of people getting off scot-free with telling you to off yourself or call you a list of derogatory terms.

Realplayer and qt where always a pain to get installed correctly

You're making me remember codecs.

Remember when DivX finally unified us upon MPEG2 and that codec just worked? Forget Youtube videos, I'm talking just making videos in general usable on the internet.

Kids these days don't even know what they've missed. Non-standard video formats. Ugggh. With everyone smoothly using mp4 or AV1 these days, life is so much better.

I remembered for audio projects, the .WMA format was the bane of everyone's existence.
