PastPages is a Chrome extension that turns every new tab into a journey through historical web pages. Imagine opening a new tab and being greeted with what Google looked like in 1998, or the first ever Amazon homepage. You can customize your historical range or select specific sites to revisit their past versions. Users can also share their interesting finds directly from the tab to their social media, or save favorite pages to revisit. PastPages is perfect for history buffs, educators, or anyone curious about the evolution of the internet.

Right?! I had a blast looking at old game websites. Blast from the past!

Can you filter by specific years or types of websites?

HistoryTech Support

Yes, Mike! There is a filter option in the settings where you can select specific years and types of websites you're interested in.

I used it in my class for a digital history lesson. The students loved it!

KarenR

That's a great idea Sarah, would you mind sharing the lesson plan? I'd love to use it in my classroom as well.

Interesting extension, but sometimes the old pages load quite slowly.

SophieTech

Noticed this as well. Hoping the devs can optimize this further. Nevertheless, it's fascinating!

Ella Mae

Super nostalgic! Took me right back to my teenage years! Great touch on a Chrome extension.

Just discovered the first website I ever visited recreated through PastPages. It's wonderful how this extension revives those memories!

Yeah, this can be such an emotional ride! Felt like I was back in high school chatting over forums!

Fascinated by the accuracy. Shows how detail-oriented the development must have been.

Brillant tool for showing my children how technology has evolved. Its like a history book, but much more interactive and engaging!

Chris_Denver

Exactly my thoughts! Combined with stories of your own experience back in the days, it becomes a great bonding tool as well.
