The first web browser, WorldWideWeb, was graphical. ViolaWWW was the first one to achieve any popularity, released a year later in 1992. A year after that, NCSA Mosaic was released, and became even more popular.

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.

The first graphical browser for the WWW was named?

Engelbart , Tim Berners-Lee , are credited with the Foundations for what later became the Mosaic and later called the NCSA Mosaic : The NCSA Mosaic 1992. Marc Andreessen,started Netscape, and released the Mosaic-influenced Netscape Navigator in 1994, 1995 : Microsoft Introduced the Internet Explorer 1996 : Opera 2003 : Safari 2004 : FireFox 2008 : Google Chrome


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.
