FWIW old web pages do look the same as they did in 1995, with the exception of the default background color changing from silver to white at some point for some reason. But, at least under Windows, the default fonts, colors, spacing, etc are 99% the same.

Flash also works if you are using Chrome. Sadly, Firefox does not support Flash plugin anymore (and i say sadly because just yesterday i was trying to find some files from an old site that was made using Flash and i had to use Chrome just for that).

Firefox still supports Flash, it just doesn't bundle it, unlike Chrome - you have to install the plugin manually. They're only slowly deprecating it starting on FF 69 (the "always activate" option will disappear, so users will have to click to activate it every time: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1519434)
