What's a browser do?
A browser is a software program that allows you to view and interact
with various kinds of Internet resources available on the World
Wide Web. A browser is commonly called a web browser. The two most
well-known web browsers are Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet
Explorer, which are used by the vast majority. Other browsers are
available as well as we will see.
A Little History
The very first web browser was written by Tim Berners-Lee, while
at CERN (a European center for physics research). The first web
browser to capture the public's imagination was Mosaic, which was
written by Marc Andreessen and other undergraduate students at
the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) in the
United States. Most of that group went on to form the core of Netscape
Communications Corporation.
