Checking Reddit on an Intel 8088 running Windows 1.04 on a modem from the 1960s
In another video I have the laptop connect directly to Reddit using a browser called Microweb instead, though in that case it's actually connecting to a proxy running on the server that handles translation of https to http.

Thanks, I didn't know about this Serial WiFi Modem. It looks like an elegant, simple, affordable way to get old vintage serial-port-based computers connected to the internet.

Web browsing over WiFi with an HP 95LX palmtop computer
This is using a special version of my DOS web browser MicroWeb which has been modified to run with the 95LX's proprietary video mode. It is connected via the serial port to a ESP8266 Serial WiFi modem from u/daggasoft which has been configured with a SLIP server and is powered from a standard portable battery pack.
