How popular websites looked when they launched

Let’s go into past for a while. Let’s see how our current popular websites looked when they were launched mostly during mid and late 90s. Remember the days when the word Google was not interchangeable with Internet? Or when every site seemed to have a Netscape icon on it? Or when Flash was still something you cleaned your floor with?

Thanks to the way back machine Internet archive, we're still able to see some of the Web 1.0 and Web 2.0 pioneers looked in their earliest incarnations.

Let’s have a look of screenshots of top websites currently in the mid to late 1990s:
