#4The 'Best viewed with Internet Explorer'[0] GIF triggers severe nostalgia.
IE was the dominant browser at the time, and these propaganda buttons just reinforced the idea that IE was the only browser you should be using. Still see the odd site saying 'Works best in Chrome' as if Chrome was the new IE.
Personally though, if your site is one of those annoying SPA (Single Page Apps) and doesn't work in Lynx[1], you're doing it wrong IMHO.
Nearly tempted to put a button on my sites saying: 'Best viewed in Lynx'.

Back in the early days of the internet, a lot of websites were hosted on Geocities, which was popular as it offered free hosting on one condition - you had to embed a small banner into your webpage advertising them. The banner image they provided was 88x31 pixels, and so many Geocities sites would include other external links as 88x31 images so that they matched the dimensions of the mandatory Geocities one.
