| | Opera, a speedy browser popular in handheld devices and in some European countries was released in 1996 and remains a niche player in the PC web browser market. | | | The explosion in popularity of the web was triggered by NCSA Mosaic which was a graphical browser running originally on Unix but soon ported to the Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows platforms. | | | A web browser is a software package that enables a user to display and interact with HTML documents hosted by web servers. |

| | Mosaic Web Browser History - NCSA, Marc Andreessen, Eric Bina |
| | Mosaic was the first popular Web browser, and greatly helped spread use and knowledge of the web across the world. | | | The NCSA stopped developing Mosaic in January 1997, since Netscape and Microsoft began to bring large development teams to bear on development of their own browsers. | | | One of the NCSA's missions is to aid scientific research by producing noncommercial software, giving Hardin and Thompson a ready-made vehicle to set up a funded project to develop Mosaic as a free, publicly available browser, managed by Hardin, and with Andreessen as the software lead. |

| | Brief introduction to hypertext - Mosaic browser |
| | By the end of 1996, web browser development was clearly outside the scope of NCSA's research mission, having moved so far into the commercial world. | | | You'll never hear it acknowledged by Microsoft or Netscape, but the first really good implementation of tables was done in mosaic for windows in late 1994. | | | Throughout 1993 and 1994 it grew explosively in popularity as the World Wide Web became well known in the computer world. |

| | Essentially, a plug-in is a helper application that runs within the browser. | | | The runaway success of the WWW and browsers like Mosaic and Netscape is attributable to many interwoven factors, such as the essential simplicity of the "hypertext transfer protocol" (HTML), the client-server paradigm, and the supporting infrastrucure of the Internet. | | | When the server informs the browser of the MIME content type of the following object, the browser consults its internal tables to see if the MIME type is known to it. |

| | Chapter 11 -- The Web Browser Is the Key |
| | Mosaic was the first Web browser to bring the Internet to the masses due to the way in which it made the Web easily accessible through the popular graphical environments of Windows and the Macintosh. | | | Microsoft's vision is that the Web browser should be a free part of the operating system itself. | | | But look again-if either Microsoft or Netscape are even partly successful in their visions to redefine client/server computing, the browser is going to be the key. |

| | Define browser - a Whatis.com definition - see also: Web browser |
| | By the time the first Web browser with a graphical user interface was generally available (Mosaic, in 1993), the term seemed to apply to Web content, too. | | | Technically, a Web browser is a client program that uses the Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) to make requests of Web servers throughout the Internet on behalf of the browser user. | | | The word "browser" seems to have originated prior to the Web as a generic term for user interfaces that let you browse (navigate through and read) text files online. |

| | Right now, Web browser developers are supporting GIF and JPG primarily, and looking at ways to offer support for other file formats with the better helper application support and plug in technology. | | | The next best thing is to have a browser that makes it easy to associate helper applications to deal with new file formats, and, in the case of Netscape Navigator 2.0, lets you use plug in applications to extend the power of the browser. | | | The first thing you should look for is a browser that works with your computer system. |

| | New Web Browser Ruins Web Surfing |
| | Mosaic's only saving grace: it doesn't yet run on Microsoft's new operating system, Windows 3.1 -- which is so lame that I predict there won't even be a Windows 3.2. | | | Ever since Berners-Lee concocted the first Web browser on a NeXT computer (which is really super cool), called WorldWideWeb, the popularity of the Web has spread in direct correlation with the availability and portability of the Web browser. | | | But beware, our sanctuary is threatened--just as poachers threaten protected nature reserves, so to do the clowns at NCSA threaten the pristine Web by creating a dubious piece of software that obviously values over-the-top fashion more than down-and-dirty function. |
