StumbleUpon
Random website finder
StumbleUpon was a web discovery platform that recommended random websites based on user interests.
Users clicked a "stumble" button to be taken to pages others had liked, creating a serendipitous browsing experience.
The service launched in 2001 and shut down in 2018, replaced by Mix.
I found so many weird blogs through StumbleUpon back in the day.
