Reeeeeaalllllllyyyy putting on the rose tinted goggles, here...

Yeah that's not how I remember the early Internet.
More like gifs everywhere, wild colours, you have to have that fancy html marquee! And terrible layouts, because aligning divs is difficult.
Good times-
don't forget autoplay video and music
-
Landing pages, too. Often with a corny Shockwave animation.

Those mouse cursor tracers lol

Why deal with float when you can use a table?
-
divs were added in the late 90's.... that is not what I'd call early internet
-
I mean, it may be subjective, but Internet was open to public in '93, and divs were specced in '97.
It was more of a joke anyway. The layouts were often tables long after divs if I'm not mistaken-
Yeah, definitely subjective, but to me the early days of the web were before HTML 2 - so up to 1995.
And yeah, so many tables for a long time... Mostly because it was a bit messy to work with and had limitations, not to mention browser support requirements and a pretty fast moving sets of specs...
It was fun though.

I remember clicking on a website and getting ABSOLUTELY BOMBSRDED WITH NEVERENDING POPUPS OF HARDCORE PORN PICS AND SOUND and my parents were behind me, and you just panic reboot the computer.

It's funny because I definitely remember this happening while using Netscape Navigator to access our Prodigy-peovided internet.
