I'm missing the <marquee>:

, the "under construction" GIFs:

and those lightsaber horizontal content dividers.



And out of topic dancing dog / cat GIFs. And horrible gray backgrounds. Or worse, not gray backgrounds.


Sometime in the 2000s I learned that using the css left attribute to animate marquee like text flows, worked much better (smoother and I think also performance wise). I was a bit surprised, that some handmade marquee was performing better than the native original.
