It pretty much all started out as Mosaic Communications. Later renamed to Netscape, their browser became a huge success (reportedly owning 80%+ of the browser market share) due to the fact that they had many extensions to the HTML language, looking better than the standard HTML most browsers support. With the release of Windows 95, Microsoft hauled and eventually began to catch up with netscape. One advantage in internet Explorer was the fact that it was free, compared to Netscape's included price tag. By 1998, Netscape became free and open source, later then merging with AOL. With Mozilla releasing about then, the rest is history.

Mosaic was first, then Netscape (made by the team that made Mosaic), followed by Internet Explorer (Microsoft), then Opera.
