If you’ve ever wondered what Google in 1998 looked like, this interactive experience gives you the chance to step back in time. Long before the modern Google search we use today, the original 1998 Google homepage was simple, clean, and a reflection of the early internet. This throwback feature lets you relive the earliest version of Google, complete with its old-school design and basic functionality.
Loading the Google 1998 page is like opening a time capsule from the past. The homepage looks minimalistic, featuring a simple search bar, a plain-text design, and an uncluttered layout. It’s a fascinating look at how one of the world’s biggest tech companies started. There are no fancy animations, no personalized search suggestions—just a straightforward search engine that laid the foundation for what Google is today.
Trying out old Google is easy. Simply visit the interactive page, and you’ll be transported to a faithful recreation of Google 90s. The text-heavy layout, blue hyperlinks, and classic buttons all reflect the web aesthetic of the late 90s. It’s an authentic glimpse into an era when search engines were just beginning to take shape.
