A web browser is the software program you use to access the World Wide Web, the graphical portion of the Internet. The first browser, called NCSA Mosaic, was developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications in the early '90s. The easy-to-use point-and-click interface helped popularize the Web, although few then could imagine the explosive growth that would soon occur.
The Top Two . . .
Although many different browsers are available, Microsoft Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator are the two most popular ones. Netscape (now owned by AOL) and Microsoft have put so much money into their browsers that the competition can't keep up. The pitched battle between the two companies to dominate the market has led to continual improvements to the software.
