I miss the old web. Maybe I've grown too old, but I actually like a bunch of our retro interfaces. It was usually just a bunch of information with nothing fancy getting in the way.

Trying to open this on my old laptop results in a stuttering mess. If you disable WebGL it doesn't show as many flashy animations, which is a big improvement for me. I'm not sure how/if it's doable on browsers other than Safari, though. With Safari you can configure it so a permission prompt will show up when a site uses WebGL, and you can set it to one of Ask / Block / Allow / Allow Always. I have the default set to Ask, and will usually Block most requests, with the exception of websites I visit regularly and in cases where WebGL is clearly required.
