My oldest is my home page, I've had the same home page on all browsers and devices since 1998. It was Perl, then PHP, and it uses a text file as the database, and around 2000 was updated to XHTML and to have the ability to pull in RSS locally and incorporate that.

Because it made everything I typically access available so easily, I took up resetting my browser each time it started, and then using private/incognito browsing when that became available. My browsing session is essentially ephemeral and I don't keep tabs open, I just reopen whatever I need.
I'm actually unsure how everyone else browses, do you all just start where you left off? You use bookmark toolbars? Just search for things?
I feel that what I do requires very low cognitive load, like it's mentally traveling light, no burdens.
This feels like a good time to rewrite it TBH... it's my only remaining PHP and JS is so capable now that I could just do this 100% client side and make the whole thing cacheable, except for the "fetch RSS" which could be simplified to a cron.
