Old Web Today: browse the Web like the '90s

The website Old Web Today it shows you archived web pages as they existed in the past through older prebrowsers and operating systems.

thefacebook old web today

The service, created by developer Ilya Kreymer in conjunction with the media arts foundation Rhizome, lets you view websites from the 90s through older browsers, including Netscape, Internet , and older versions of Chrome, Firefox, Safari, etc. These browsers work with their respective classic Mac, Windows and Linux operating systems.

You can enter the URL you want to see, request a date, and the site will show you the archive of the web page that is stored and is closest to the date you have stated.

For example you could see Facebook as when it was known as "TheFacebook."

The Old Web Today it is a digital nostalgia and in relation to corresponding sites that show archival versions of modern web pages although they load faster, they cannot convey the nostalgia one feels when viewing an old website through the corresponding old browser.
