https://www.compuserve.com is the same thing. Oath/Verizon is keeping these sites on some kind of life support to this day.
Some people are going to call the design dated, but to me that kind of layout is timeless. Just the facts and it has good information density. But LOL that the "Maps" link goes to mapquest.com. In other news Mapquest still exist.
Compare that to the garbage that is the default msn page in Edge. I’m disappointed Microsoft isn’t using their new tab page to be more educational. So many scammy ads.
Yeah, now I see why. The MSN home page is worthy of an article, hell, a series of articles. I wouldn't dare click a thing on that page.

What cookie consent page?

The last breach was not handled really well by Ubiquiti. https://krebsonsecurity.com/2021/04/ubiquiti-all-but-confirm...
Indeed, but if you don't put everything to the cloud and consider Ubiquiti as an HW manufacturer: they're pretty good

My dad recently had me help him remove "Maps Galaxy" which had taken over his Chrome homepage, and which he had accidentally picked it up trying to get to Mapquest (which he apparently still uses regularly). He is also the kind of person who wants an iPhone because he was impressed by the quality and capabilities of the Apple ][ computers he used in college. It's difficult for me to understand, but I have to respect…
I don't use Apple, but I understand "old people" (like I am rapidly becoming) follow the 1) It works!, and 2) If it ain't broken, don't fix it. You don't specify, but can I assume that he has the same iphone for the last 5-7 years, or he upgrades regularly?
Incidentally and unrelatedly, I have had the same iPhone for the last 7 years, but I've been using a feature phone for the phone part the last 5. I'm reemerging into the smartphone world with Verizon's 1X network shutting down and I've realized I am also definitely rapidly becoming "old people" myself.
All of the phones I thought were so cool are now hopelessly obsolete, and most may not even be able to activate on a current network. Even beyond the obvious headphone jacks, physical keyboards, and removable batteries, what happened to phones with FM radios, tiny secondary screens, and IR blasters? Everywhere I look all I see are big screens and fancy cameras.

Interesting I guess they don't show it to those outside the EU.
California has enacted some relevant policy in that direction, but IIRC it does not require consent in the same way the EU legislation does.

And all the SPA frameworks were created to make pages load faster for a better experience, and now the original, simpler stuff is a much faster loading experience.
They are almost always noticeably faster for page loads after the initial one. If they aren't then it was built really, really wrong

Noticeably faster on subsequent page loads compared to the first one, sure. But many SPA take longer, in general, to get to the usable point than this netscape page.

Yes that is why I explicitly said "after the first one". That was my whole point it is slower on the first and faster on later ones. Which is why they are for Applications

One of the lists I'm using on the home pi-hole apparently isn't fond of MSN, either, because "Safari can't find the server 'www.msn.com'. Sure enough, the pi-hole query log says it's being blocked. Maybe I'll disable for a few minutes and see for myself... Yeah, now I see why. The MSN home page is worthy of an article, hell, a series of articles. I wouldn't dare click a thing on that page.
