Alta Vista was the no 1 search engine before google exploded onto the scene.

There was a clone created for hacking/security and similar IT related matters very close after Altavista was up, called https://astalavista.box.sk/ it's still there too.

Those days were fun, not gonna lie

Search it Duck Duck Go. It's an old search engine from the 90s. I'd never heard of it either.
