Search
- Google Search - Obviously, everyone knows who Google is, and everyone uses Google. It's the #1 best and most relevant search engine on the World Wide Web. But beware, that Allmighty Google knows all your little secrets that you try to hide from everyone else, and probably knows more about your personal life more than yourself. (see The Church of Googlism.)
- Yahoo! Search - Yahoo!, the second most well known search engine, but too bad nobody really uses it anymore 'cause of Google is so much better. Sadly, it's mostly left alone and neglected.
- Bing - Part of Micro$oft's cruel capitalistic monopoly. Like how they force every consumer to use Windows 10, they want everyone to use Bing. Too bad that nobody uses it either.
- Ask.com - Fell free to Ask Jeeves anything!
- Baidu Search - A cheap Chinese knockoff of Google. Only really useful within the People's Republic since the search results are always in Chinese, and given the strict government censorship of the Interwebz over there.
- Yandex Search - A proudly Russian search engine that only communists use. Sponsored by Putin's government.
- DuckDuckGo - The most private search engine, DuckDuckGo claims that, unlike Google, they don't spy on you. Or so they claim? It also has an onion address for even more protection.
- Startpage.com - This search engine offers the reliability of Google, without it having to spy on you. It's even way more private than DuckDuckGo. You should add this site as your start page! Do it right now!
- SearX - This is no ordinary search engine. It is a metasearch engine, pulling results from every other search engine for Xtra reliability. And there's probably like dozens of mirrors, but this is the most used and well known of them.
- The World Wide Web Virtual Library - The granddaddy of all search engines. Or, it's so old, it's pretty much a huge-ass directory. Created by the man Tim-Berners Lee himself back during the early days of the web. Don't use it. Pretty much everything there is outdated and some of the links might not work anymore. Hell, even the search bar is broken.
- Archie search engine - Another very old search engine from the early days of the Internet. This one however does not search the World Wide Web. Instead it searches for files on File Transfer Protocol servers.
Videos
- YouTube - Google's YouTube is where all the video's at. At it's also where all the memez and dramaz at! It's is a magical place where anyone can broadcast themselves and become insta famous and rich from their parentz' basement, and freely express their causes and opinions. You can also watch the news or listen to music here. Remeber to subscribe to your favorite YouTuberz. Only that if you're in school or work, you probably can't use it :/. Try some better alternative below. PewDiePie > T-Series.
- Vimeo - It's a shame that not many people watch and upload videos on Vimeo. In everyway it's better than YouTube in everyway, although there are some premium services you gotta pay for.
- Dailymotion - Another great alternative to YouTube no one really uses.

Encyclopedias
- Wikipedia - The Free Encyclopedia. It is THE place for the most reliable sources of information. It covers every thing known to mankind, and you can learn about anything you want; from philosophy to SpongeBob to autofellatio, and in all human languages. Who needs school anymore since we have everythink we need to know under a few clicks? Did you know that anyone, even you, can edit Wikipedia? Yes, everyone can contribute your valuable knowledge, even without the need to register for an account. Oh, and did I mention it has free pr0n?
- FANDOM (formely Wikia) - Imagine a website where there's a Wikipedia about every single fandom and franchise, from TV shows, to video games, to comic books? Then this is the place! Warning: Many admins in their communities and FANDOM staff are often very abusive.
- Conservapedia - The Wikipedia for conservative Christian fundamentalists who are sick of Wikipedia's SJW far-left liberalistic agenda. Instead they want a trustworthy encyclopedia based on Christian science and teachings from the Bible.
- Metapedia - Wikipedia for the alt-right neo-Nazi white power Ku Klux Klan movement.
- RationalWiki - A wiki that saturized the authoritarian regime of mass media, edited by atheists and SJW liberals.
- Uncyclopedia - A (mostly SFW) comedic parody of Wikipedia, which ironically is more reliable than the original.
- Encyclopædia Dramatica - An extreme (NSFW and NSFL) parody of Uncyclopedia. A parody of a parody. It's like Wikipedia, but unlike Wikipedia which is about things in real life, ED is Wikipedia about the memez and the Internetz.
Dictionaries
- Dictionary.com a.k.a Thesaurus.com - World's favorite online dictionary/thesaurus where you can look up the meaning of any word you enter. It's also a tumblr-esque blog.
- Merriam-Webster - The good ol' Merriam-Webster dictionary.

Web Browsers
Did you just bought a brand spanking new PC or Mac with the latest version of Windows 10 or macOS and you've fired up Internet Explorer Microsoft Edge or Safari to download a new browser 'cause the ones that came preinstalled are pure shit? Well, we've got you covered here with a list of browsers to choose from.
- SeaMonkey - If you want an oldskool browser that mimics the old nostalgic look and feel of Netscape Navigator from back in the day, then SeaMonkey is the browser for you, and for everyone really. It is my favorite browser that I use everyday and its my most favorite browser. Despite Netscape being discontinued, the browser eventually evolved into Mozilla Firefox with the Gecko engine. From there SeaMonkey forked from Firefox prior to switching over to the Quantum engine. It is very lightweight yet modern at it support modern web standards including HTML5. It is also extensible and can use XUL-based Firefox Extensions. And SeaMonkey isn't just a web browser, it's an Internet suite which includes an e-mail client and Usenet newsreader, and as extensions you can also install the ChatZilla IRC client, the FireFTP FTP client, and the OverbiteFF Gopher client. It's like a Swiss Army knife!
- Google Chrome -
- Mozilla Firefox -
- Opera Browser -
- Vivaldi -
- Otter Browser -
- GNU IceCat -
- Waterfox -
- Pale Moon -
- Chromium -
- Iridium Browser -
- Brave -
- OmniWeb -
- TenFourFox -
- Tor Onion Browser -
- Lynx - If you want a text-only image-free web browsing experience without all the distracting graphics and sounds? Do you want a web browser that's even more oldskool than SeaMonkey, Netscape Navigator or even NCSA Mosaic? Are you one of the very few folks who still use MS-DOS or a UNIX terminal emulator because GUIs are too confusing? Then the text-only Lynx web browser is for you. Now you too can experience surfing the World Wide Web in just plain ol' text, free from annoying ads!

Internet Archæology
Tools
- The Internet Archive - The Internet Archive is the largest online digital library, which stores all kinds of warez; movies, TV episodes, books, music, YouTube videos, video games, even old versions of software and websites. It's ultimate goal is to preserve the entire Interwebz in one archive.
- The Wayback Machine - This really radical and totally tubular website allows you to travel back in time in Web History! It allows you to view how websites used to look like at different points in time in the past, and it can go as far back as 1996! It can also allow you to view old defunct links and websites which no longer currently exists. The way it works is that it sends web crawlers to follow links, much like how Google uses it to index webpages on its search engine, and then copies all of the files and data of that webpage as an archive on their servers at different times when cached. On the Wayback Machine, you type in the URL of the website you would like to see, and then select a date of the website's capture. Unfortunately the capture might be incomplete resulting in images and other content not showing up properly. This link will send you to Google's homepage as it appeared on the 11th of November 1998 via the Wayback Machine, although search functionality doesn't really work. Then select to move either forwards or backwards in time. Have fun!
- Archive.is - Archive.is is similar to the Wayback Machine in that it archives webpages as it looked at different points in time, but unlike the Wayback Machine, it takes a screenshot of the page rather than copy all of its contents. This includes Web 2.0 sites.
- WebCite - WebCite is also a service that archives older versions of webpages, in which a website being cited by an external source is captured. It does however have it's limitations, such as not being able to capture Web 2.0 sites.
- Perma.cc - Another website like WebCite which preserves citated websites.
- Deja Vu - This website allows you reennact web browsing as it was back in the '90s with JavaScript emulators of obsolete web browsers such as Lynx, NCSA Mosaic, Netscape Navigator, old Internet Explorer, and HotJava.
Antient Relics - Old Web 1.0 websites between 1990 and 2005 which still retain their original look
- 404PageNotFound - A comprehensive list of many old website still in its original form.
- Archaeology of the Internet Subreddit - This subreddit on Reddit is dedicated in digging the depts of the World Wide Web in search for long expired websites deep within the Trenches of the Forgotten.
- Symbolics.com (1985) - "The World's First and Oldest registered .com Domain Name on the Internet". Currently the site of The Big Internet Museum, an online museum about the history of the Internet.
- The Very First Website (1990) - Almost less than 30 years ago in the year AD 1990, Sir Tim-Berners Lee along with his colleague Robert Cailliau created the first webserver on a humble little NeXTcube workstation while working for the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), the home of the Large Hadron Collider. Throughout the years, Lee has envisioned a "hypertext database", where a document can contain text and images that, when clicked, directed the user to another document either on the same server or on a different server, called a "hyperlink". He wrote a long ass proposal during the late 1980s which laid the foundation of the HyperText Transfer Protocol and led to the creation of the modern World Wide Web. Eventually, he realized his plan and on the website, he gives detail on how HTTP worked. It even offers viewing the website in a Line Mode Browser emulator.

It taught those who were hopping on the then-new World Wide Web how to navigate it. Back in those days Netscape Navigator was the top dog back in the 1990s, but then by the time the new millennium came along, it quickly decline with the last version, 9.0.0.6 released in 2008. However, Netscape's legacy wasn't forgotten as it eventually evolved into Mozilla Firefox and SeaMonkey.

Gopher Links
Did you know that back during the early days of the World Wide Web, coexisted another system of information called the Gopher protocol? Back in 1991, around the same time Tim-Berners Lee invented the Web, a guy named Mark Perry McCahill was creating a "distributed search and retrieval system" for the University of Minnesota. He invented a system where the user was presented a text menu of information to select, which would lead to directories containing documents and images. To bad that thoughout the '90s, the World Wide Web ended up dominating the Interwebz. However, despite its demise, Gopherspace still exists and there is still stuff down there. Unfortunately this information is unaccessable, as web browsers of today can no longer connect to the Gopher protocol. Fret not, my fellow netizens, that there are still ways to access it.
Other than using the proxy to connect to Gopher, if you want to access it directly, we recommend for most users to install the SeaMonkey web browser, or TenFourFox if you're using an old Power Mac, and then installing the OverbiteFF extension which allows a graphical access to Gopher. Or if you're one of those people still using MS-DOS or want a text-only experience, you can also install the Lynx web browser which lets you access both the World Wide Web and Gopherspace under the command line!
If your web browser is capable of accessing Gopher directly, click on the links themselves. If your web browser can't natively connect to Gopher, then click on the subscripted link that says "proxy" next to it and that should take you to the Gophersite via Floodgap's Public Gopher Proxy.
- Floodgap Gopher Public Proxy - This service allows anyone on any web brower to access Gopherspace, by converting HTTP into Gopher.
- Floodgap's Main Page proxy - The front page of Gopherspace! It gives you some tips and information about the Gopher protocol, as well as containing cool stuff. Such as, did you know that you can read the news, check the weather forecasts in your area, or even figure out the phase of the moon tonight on Gopher?
- Veronica-2 proxy - The Very Easy Rodent-Oriented Net-wide Index to Computer Archives, version 2, aka "the Google of Gopherspace". It's a search engine that allows you to search resources in Gopher.
- Directory of Gopher servers proxy - Lists pretty much virtually all gopher servers, categorized by continent.
- The Gopher Lawn proxy - If Gopherspace was a house, then the Gopher Lawn would be the main entrance, giving you a list of sites to important Gopher holes.
- ASCII art creator proxy - Enter a word, any word, and watch as it turns that word into rad ASCII art!
- Gopherpedia! HTTPS link - Someone thought it was a good idea to make a Gopher version of Wikipedia. Everything you want to look for on Wikipedia, now on an simple graphics-free ASCII interface.
- 1436chan HTTP link Like there's already a dozen or so *chans out here on the World Wide Web, there's also a chan on Gopherspace. Here, we have the /misc/ and the /tech/ boards. And it's also not the only chan known to Gopherspace but it's better because you can directly create a thread and reply without having to use telnet and stuff.
- Gopherchan! proxy - Another chan on Gopher.
- 70chan proxy - Another chan on Gopher.
- Some ASCII art proxy - This includes pr0n.
