I remember the web being scary more than anything in the 56k days. Viruses were something you constantly thought about on any site you didn't know well.
Now we just have data collection, which is I suppose theoretically pretty scary, but not an immediate concern at the moment for most people, or at least not a big enough to change people's behavior.
I also remember it being a bit slow. Sometimes a lot slow. And media being obviously near unusable.
I'd definitely take almost everything about the modern web over the old web. Except the content, which was way better back then, and endless scrolling, which is ass. I strongly suspect the two may be related.
