It will be funny when websites stop working left and right because essential remotely hosted JS files disappear from various free CDN URLs. Perhaps we'll add more cruft to browsers to compensate (i.e. recognize dead CDN URLs and use a list of replacement hosts).

Of course, the really old web pages will still work because of fewer/no external dependencies.

Scrape the website to html and css and toss that up anywhere. Every CMS can be a static site generator if you want it to be.

Sure, but many of these sites are taken down/replaced, and only years later does nostalgia kick in... At that point, its too late to scrape the site!

That's why archive.org exists.

By that time you'll simply include the whole infrastructure in a 'web'-served container, running in a 'sandbox' of sorts on your 'browser'. Quotes where terminology is an unsure fit with whatever you'll be using by that time.
