I don’t know about number one, but a few that I miss.
freshmeat.net. Announcements of open source software releases and updates.
newegg.com — computer components retailer — is still around, but it doesn’t hold the spot it once did.
bash.org. Searchable list of funny, ranked quotes from IRC and similar. There are some archives, like this one.
A few “hosting” sites that went down with a lot of user-created content. No one thing was amazing, maybe, but it produced a lot of dangling links. Geocities: “At least 38 million pages, most written by users, were displayed by GeoCities before it was terminated.[7] The GeoCities Japan version of the service lasted until March 31, 2019.[8]”. AngelFire. Tripod. Apparently the latter two are still around in some limited form.
Kaleidoscope.net, a site featuring themes for the eponymous classic MacOS themeing software package. They did a good job of generating theme previews. Fun to browse through.

What would you suggest instead of newegg now? I’m still using it out of momentum haven’t thought to look elsewhere in a long time

As for bash.org: there’s a fedi bot that posts a random quote once per hour:
