Prodigy, I think. It wasn't great, but the Internet wasn't so widespread back then, either.

You can still buy Aim toothpaste. It's actually a lot cheaper than Crest but has just as much fluoride.

I think I used Metacrawler or a similarly named one. I remember it had Meta in it's name at least. It was the only search engine that gave me results for "rare" ROMs back then. Other than that I would have been using Excite.

First time ever browsing the web for me was at a kiosk using Netscape, I had no idea what I was doing or what the URL bar meant..

Going forward I used Webcrawler for a long time, jumped to something called Go, moved to DuckDuckGo then Google

I dont think I've ever used Bing

I think it was AOL or Webcrawler. The internet was still new that time. I remember first using my school e-mail account, then having dial-up AOL. That's where I started searching online. At about the same time, I found Webcrawler as well as the Netscape web browser on the school computers.
