"DINO would like you to know that more than three toppings will be expensive and won't be any better."
Didn't you read the note at the bottom?
"This site is best viewed with Netscape. Download v4.7.2 by clicking here."
Clearly, you didn't follow the instructions for best viewing experience!
Nice easter egg from the source code:
<!-- <audio autoplay="autoplay" controls="controls"><source src="topgun.mid" type="audio/mpeg"></audio> -->Finally, I can wear my love for top gun on my sleeve and—for the first time in a decade—take my phone off vibrate.
Edit: why is this so hard to do on an iPhone? Guess I shouldn’t be surprised.
When it finally worked, I was disappointed to see that I couldn't get it to run on Win 10 (64-bit).
(It does appear to be a Windows executable, though)
Sadly https://www.dinostomatopie.com/ and http://www.dinostomatopie.com/ failed to open with a message saying "Netscape and this server cannot communicate securely because they have no common encryption algorithm(s)".
I'm about to go to sleep but there's ones that forward https as http, convert webp and png to gif, strip JavaScript to prevent the browser from locking up, etc.
There's a real world use for this in crazy companies where people are forced on some old browser. This makes them not go down in glorious flames at every site.
I'm aware of https://github.com/tenox7/wrp but converting everything to a gif is quite a bit more destructive!

There's also a nice (though under-documented) scripting interface, so you could probably write a script that does this for all sites in regular proxy mode. I found an example of this here, though I didn't test it: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/mitmproxy/IAJ0-MHVC0...
This actually doesn't looks as easy to do in 2020 as it was in 2009. I also had luck at chaining proxies that did different features as well so one would do a certain transformation and pass it off to another etc.
I've also done partial implementations just using php ... you can preg_replace most things and it more or less works.
But yes I had assumed things had gotten easier but apparently they've actually become more difficult.
There are companies who will sell this to you but essentially it’s really headless Chrome running in the cloud somewhere.
It might also help with SEO? Google's been pushing for https everywhere.
