Early Browsers

Some of the Early Browsers include such names as World Wide Web, ViolaWWW, Erwise, Mosaic, etc. The idea of early browsers germinated from CERN, a renowned physics institute, where Tim Berners Lee was working. The credit of development of the first web browser World Wide Web goes to him. It was because of the need to circulate Lee's research papers among the concerned people that he decided to work on HTML and browser software. Gradually computer scientists over the world developed improved versions of web browsers, which could display both textual messages and graphical images.

The World Wide Web, often abbreviated as the “Web” is the largest sub networking system under the Internet. The World Wide Web functions on the basis of sub networking languages or Protocols. The protocol that is most important to the World Wide Web is HTTP. The WWW came into proper existence around the time Internet was born. Tim Berners Lee's attempt to provide the world with a simple networking system is the reason why the web was invented in 1990. Robert Cailliau was the collaborator of the web server and the web projects.

Hence forth a number of browsers were launched. Some of these early browsers include such names as:

• Erwise
• ViolaWWW
• Mosaic
• Netscape Browser
• Internet Explorer
