2015: complicated with low-contrast text set against an animated background image, maximises scrolling, requires clicking through a hamburger menu with gratuitous animations, heavyweight

2015: content + cruft
Hilarious that it doesn’t work on phones. I guess this is only the evolution of web through 2009?
Now if I could just get this slider onto every website, and keep it locked at 1993. :)
2. Don't act like you don't know that scrolling down from pron1 will autoplay pron2 when it enters the viewport.
3. Don't act like you don't know about infinite scroll.
4. Don't act like you don't instinctively know that every single web design in the years before that has fewer prons per minute.
If you fess up to those four truisms and still pine for 90s web, at least have the courage of your convictions to quit computers and become a street preacher already.

2014 has thin gray text on brightened starry sky, which is too faint for my FHD Dell. Indians still buy 800p laptop and desktop screens which are too faint for rooms without curtains.
