I feel the current changes to the web makes this thread very relevant, would anyone else be interested in reviving this thread? I'll try to find new sites to add on.
[EDIT] I'll start here. Iteroni has died, and this Invidious instance Nadeko Invidious runs well on Aquafox and my Kai Os phone.
I do enjoy that Invidious instance as well! Great to post it and get the word out.
If we are looking for sites that work on Aquafox, this thread might be worth reviving: https://forums.macrumors.com/threads/websites-compatible-with-tenfourfox-interwebppc.2391449/
xcancel.com is an example of a site that works on Aquafox, but isn't really old web.

Is an excellent Wayback Machine frontend for HTML 4 compliant browsers.

Thank you for this. Can't wait to check this out tonight!

In the spirit of the thread, feel free to add our local group's site (http://abqretrocomputers.com) to any links page/aggregator/postings you like.

I've been working on this, but unfortunately it's probably not Web 1.1 compliant. Besides hosting on NeoCities, it probably needs javascript to make the sidebars a template so I don't need to update them one by one before I let it go live. Still, I'm happy with the actual design of it and the graphics, all of which I did by hand (more or less, the Ultra 64 was a stock photo I edited heavily but besides that).​

This looks wonderful! Even with the JS + Neocities TLS issues, it still would probably run great on TenFourFox
