DMOZ

What is DMOZ ?

DMOZ, also known as Directory Mozilla, is a free and public web directory hosted by the Open Directory Project(ODP). It is also known as the first human-edited web directory with over 7.5 million pages. In 2017, it was finally shut down, and its static version is still available, with no further updates or new entries. Some of the features these directories have are as follows:-

  • It had options to edit and not just to read, which appealed to the users. 
  • The platform was free from ads and also provided free content. 
  • It had a blog that featured topics that were explained best for beginners. 
  • It acted like a search engine used by millions of people even then.
