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.

internet explorer sucked then and still sucks now

iE doesn't exist anymore, does it?

For companies that rely on microshit services, internet explorer is actually the duct tape and elmer's glue that holds their intranet together

i think it was replaced by microsoft edge when windows 10 came out IIRC

Microsoft hilariously butchered the introduction of Edge, which showed a logo that was strikingly similar to IE. They've sworn up and down that Edge wasn't like IE. But Edge, behaved similarly to IE. It took Microsoft a few years to finally give Edge it's own identity and more or less, better functionality.
