Best Answer

Mosaic was first, then Netscape (made by the team that made Mosaic), followed by internet Explorer (Microsoft), then Opera. After that came Safari for the Mac, and most recently, Chrome (by Google).


Safari is the only one I have not used, since it is for the Mac, but from the rest, Opera is the one I find the easiest to use by far.

Which web browser was the first browser?

The first web browser in the history of the world was WorldWideWeb, and it was created by Nexus on February 26th, 1991. During that time, very few of the world's people were using the Internet; only 4,000,000 of them. WorldWideWeb was a turning point for computer history, and now, there are hundreds of web browsers out there, besides the five most common ones: Internet Explorer, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Safari, and Opera. WorldWideWeb was VERY basic compared to modern day browsers.

Who created the first GUI browser?

The Grandpa of Internet Explorer was a web browser called Mosaic, which first began development at the National Center for Super Computing Applications (NCSA) back in 1987. It was the first browser to use a GUI (graphical user interface) and was ground breaking stuff.


When did the world wide web become popular?

If we were to pick a single event, it would have to be the creation of the first visual browser, called "Mosaic" in 1993 by the NCSA team at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. "Mosaic" gave the world wide web (which had been developed by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989) a face. With the "visual browser", anyone could tap into the full power of the world wide web. You no longer had to be a tech-savvy engineer. Today's browsers (Internet Explorer, FireFox, Safari...) are all the grandchildren of that first browser.

When was the first web browser created?

Mosaic Web Browser. Was created in the University of Illinois. sorry but the mosaic web browser may well have been created in illinois, but it wasn't the first web browser. that title would go to the, 'worldwideweb' browser, (without any gaps), proposed in 1989 by a Brit, Tim Berners-Lee, then invented and developed by him and Robert Cailliau at the CERN institute in Geneva and released on 26th feb 1991, it was a graphical user interface much like windows 3.11 but didn't support graphics. however, the 'ncsa mosaic' web browser did support graphics and was the first to do so but that wasn't, i believe, until early 1993 kind regardz jakkadan
