Before templates and minimalism took over, every site was someone’s hand-crafted digital playground — full of GIFs, rainbow borders, tiled backgrounds, and personality. RetroWeb is a tribute to that era. A resurrection of a forgotten aesthetic. A reminder that the web doesn’t always have to be clean and corporate. A celebration of maximalist creativity. 🔐 Privacy & Permissions RetroWeb does not collect or store any personal data. It requires access to “all sites” because it needs to apply visual effects on the pages you visit — nothing is tracked, logged, or transmitted. Everything runs locally on your device. RetroWeb revives: -Geocities -Angelfire -Y2K design -90s personal homepages -Early browser aesthetics …and wraps them in a modern extension that works on any website you want. ❤️ Created With Nostalgia RetroWeb was built because the internet was better when it was weird — when it was expressive, personal, experimental, and full of glittery GIFs. Let’s bring the weird web back. One website at a time.
