BrowserBrowsers are software programs that view Web pages and help you move
through the Web. The browser that triggered the WWW explosion was Mosaic, a
public domain graphical user interface (GUI) from the National Center for
Supercomputer Applications (NCSA). Released in 1993, Mosaic made it
possible to design documents containing images for display over the
Internet. Up to that point, an Internet document was basically just a bunch
of text on a server. In 1994, Mosaic ship-jumper Marc Andreessen released
Netscape 1.1, following Mosaic's successful lead, by distributing the
browser free of charge on the Internet in order to establish a wide user base.
