On Gopher, you have gopher://magical.fish and gopher://mozz.us as 'modern' starting points to cool services, such as a news directory, weather, a language translator and so on.
If you need a ZIP file (and more) uncompresser for w9x:
No modern HTTPS support, but well, with http://68k.news and the Gopher hole portals you'll have interesting sites to grasp from anywhere. Add gopher://gophernews.net and that's it.
The first link in the text file bring an FTP site really took me back. I prefer FTP to gopher or Gemini. It’s amazing what can be done with file names and directory structure, though an 8 character limit make some interesting abbreviations and suffixes
In the early days of the public Internet, 1993-1994, my job in the "warez" crew I joined was to spend my days grinding through public FTP sites finding folders that had accidentally been left write-enabled and then create hidden folders using escape characters, e.g. ^H^H^H^H that you could only open if you knew they were there. Then my buddies could store all their MEGABYTES of warez in them.

It supports some modern sites and Gopher. Also, there are some about:config tweaks for TLS 1.3 by using DDG or Google.
