What you need to understand about the World Wide Web in 1994, is that it was incredibly ugly:

What the internet looked like in 1994, according to 15 webpages born that year - Fast Company

Not ugly; it was utilitarian. It was also relatively fast, given the bandwidth available and to a very large degree, it was ad free and cookies didn’t follow you around spying on your every move. I’d happily give up “pretty” for “private”.

1. None of that web traffic was encrypted. It could be read by anyone on the network. 2. pretty/private is not the tradeoff and it never was.
