I have some on here: www.trinity.moe/stickers

Many of those are hotlinked to WayBack Machine backups of this page. 88x31s are still in use on the better parts of the web, particularly hobbyist neocities pages. I made two myself on the root of my site. There's a certain creativity necessary to work within <3000px that's mostly gone from the corporatized web today.

Reminded me of this: http://www.milliondollarhomepage.com/ ...and how many of the ads on this page are for "pixel ads" (no longer functioning of course).

Reminded of that too. The owner is Alex Tew who has parlayed it into a startup or two. He’s currently working on Calm.

Wow, this is an amazing collection of banners! For anyone have trouble with the page loading all of the gifs, I bundled all 4 of the pages into a single, massive 33 MB HTML page with all 3000+ of the GIFs encoded into data URIs. Here's the link, and all credit goes to the dabamos.de website owner for creating the collection:

Earlier quoted context omitted.

I remember enabling this in Firefox. Why wasn't it the default?

I believe they had reports of popular transparent proxies that broke with it set, and the users involved typically weren't in a situation to not use those proxies.

This is of course why we now have QUIC now, and why it's explicitly designed to be as opaque as practically possible to middleboxes.
