What I miss the most is the "good old days" of the Internet (which I first got access to in the mid-90s) that were driven by protocols more than "sites" and "apps."
Which meant much more choice of user interface (mailreaders, newsreaders, IRC clients, etc), and not having to have a separate browser tab (we barely had browsers, much less tabs!) open for every different forum, chat system, etc, that you interacted with people on.
