The first web browser, WorldWideWeb, was developed in 1990 by Tim Berners-Lee for the NeXT Computer (at the same time as the first web server for the same machine) [31] [32] and introduced to his colleagues at CERN in March 1991.
British computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee created the first web server and graphical web browser in 1990 while working at CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research, in Switzerland. He called his new window into the internet “WorldWideWeb.”
In 1990, a computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee, developed the first ever browser named “WorldWideWeb”, at CERN (A European organization for nuclear research). It was indeed an extraordinary development as it was the only web browser present at that time which provided a user-friendly interface.
The first web browser, called WorldWideWeb, was created in 1990 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. [12] [13] He then recruited Nicola Pellow to write the Line Mode Browser, which displayed web pages on dumb terminals. [14] The Mosaic web browser was released in April 1993, and was later credited as the first web browser to find mainstream popularity.
WorldWideWeb (later renamed Nexus to avoid confusion between the software and the World Wide Web) is the first web browser [1] and web page editor. [2] It was discontinued in 1994. It was the first WYSIWYG HTML editor. The source code was released into the public domain on 30 April 1993.
The first web browser, called WorldWideWeb and later renamed Nexus, was a browser-editor. It could be used to create pages as well as browse them. Not only that, it allowed user-centric and document-centric browsing. See the video below for a demo of the first website seen within the first web browser.
Berners-Lee’s original Web browser running on NeXT computers showed his vision and had many of the features of current Web browsers. In addition, it included the ability to modify pages from directly inside the browser – the first Web editing capability.
Tim Berners-Lee develops the first Web browser WorldWideWeb. Archie, the first tool to search the internet is developed by McGill University student Alan Emtage. Researchers rig up a live shot of a coffee pot so they could tell from their computer screens when a fresh pot had been brewed.
The early 1990s saw the emergence of the first web browsers. NCSA Mosaic, created by Marc Andreessen, was one of the pioneering browsers, introducing graphical interfaces for web navigation. It allowed users to view text and images on web pages, setting the stage for the web as we know it today.
The first web browser - or browser-editor rather - was called WorldWideWeb as, after all, when it was written in 1990 it was the only way to see the web. Much later it was renamed Nexus in order to save confusion between the program and the abstract information space (which is now spelled World Wide Web with spaces).
