I fell in love with the web in the 1990s. It felt a place to connect, learn and discover; not a tool used to divide, misinform and reinforce beliefs. I’ve since grown tired of clickbait, SEO, spammers, excessive advertisements and a big brother who watches everything. Nevertheless, there are websites that feel like an oasis. Here is a 100-link directory that is reminiscent of how I remember the web.
