Yep I remember them. I always thought there was one big difference between all those other search engines and google. The other search engines had loads of sponsors adds, latest news, weather forecasts etc on their front page. Just like Bing.com does todayTheButcher wrote: ↑November 18th, 2024, 6:04 pmHow many of you remember Excite, Alta Vista and Lycos, they were the "Google" of their time in the early 1990's.
Google never did that. They always opted for the clean first page with just the input bar in the middle. All their sponsors adds come in the listings. I think users prefer that and that's why google is so popular
Just my opinion
