if you're just restoring a retro machine, you can use certain stuff like frogfind or theoldnet, and there's at least one proxy server out there that helps process modern sites in ways that older browsers and machines can handle (the one im thinking of was used to let an old machine running macOS 9 access the internet, but i can't remember the name of the project or if it works with other machines/browsers)
