There’s more obvious things people already mentioned, but for less obvious examples.

A night sky without light pollution and darker nights from a sleep perspective.

Large families and extended families. Your great grandparents likely had 5+ siblings.

100ppm lower CO2 levels had a meaningful impact on cognitive and physical performance.

Less intrusive advertising such as pumping gas without videos popping up.

Natural sounds and smells in a world without massive pollution.

Edit: It’s easy to say the modern world is better based on metrics which exclude meaningful downsides. Job security doesn’t get tracked the way unemployment rate does.

In 1790 individual members in the House of Representatives represented 39,000 people (though a low percentage of that could actually vote), today it’s closer to 800,000. But nobody is saying your voice is less important every year.
