I started using the internet around the age of 9, and I explored classic sites like girlsgogames, but also those browser-based game sites like Friv or Pogo. Eventually, I stumbled onto text based games and other niche websties, or at least niche for a kid with little understanding of how to find new sites.
This is a collection of cool websites and games you can play with only your browser!

Drawing Garden is a very simple website that turns the spots you hover over into different emojis. It even has sound!
Incredibox is a music based game that allows you to create your own beats, rhythms and even songs with their premade sound effects. The first 4 modes are currently available for free on their demo page. You can buy the full version on your phone's app store. If it looks familiar, but you've never seen it before, it may be that you recognize one of it's mods, such as Sprunki or Evadare.
Color Names is a website that allows the public to propose names for every single color with a hex code.
Big Ass Message is pretty self explanatory. It lets you display a big ass message on your screen. I used to use this in school a lot when I would leave my laptop unattended. FLASH WARNING for the "Magic" setting. as the site has no warning by itself!
Pointer Pointer is a website that finds your cursor and pulls up a picture with someone pointing at it. I have never had an image that wasn't pointing DIRECTLY at my cursor, nor have i had an image repeat itself. I don't know how this site works, but it is so silly and I love it.
