Some Tor hidden services, or `Onionland` as it's called are very similar to the early web. For some reason a lot of the pages look like Angelfire[0]. I can't figure out why though. Perhaps the technical challenge of setting up an .onion was so hard that the webmasters were glad just to have something hosted and the bulk of their energy was spent on the hidden service and they didn't spend 5 hours creating a Javascript single page app in their free time.

Many tor services eschew javascript because it's recommended not to have javascript enabled for services requiring anonymity/security (or, at least it was several years ago when I last checked). A lot of the sites will be very technically simple.
