Internet Browsers
Many people use the internet to get there information every day, but one question is what web browser to use to get the most out of what you are searching for. Well let’s start off as with what is a web browser. A web browser is a software application used to enable computer users find and enter web pages (What is a Web Browser?). A web browser allows a user to access videos, pictures and text information once a topic is searched (What is a Web Browser?).
The first web browser was invented in the 1990 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee. He named it the WorldWide Web and later was called Nexus. (Berners-Lee) In 1993, a guy by the name of Marc Andreessen released Mosaic, which was considered “the world’s first popular browser (Andreessen).” This just made the WorldWide Web to be easier navigated by the user. This really sparked the use of the internet for the average person. Andreessen eventually started his own company and named it Netscape and released a “Mosaic-influenced Netscape navigator (Andreessen).” Eventually Microsoft wanted in on the excitement of the internet. Microsoft developed Internet Explorer in 1995, which was also based off of Mosaic (Search Engine Journal). It became war from here on out with the internet browsers. Internet became the most popular web browser to be used. In 1998, Netscape produced Mozilla Foundation, which was going to by a competitor with Internet Explorer. Mozilla eventually became known as Firefox, which is a commonly used browser today. In 2003, Apple launch there Safari web browser and still is popular today with all the Apple products you can buy. The most recent browser to come in the picture is Google Chrome. Chrome is becoming more popular as the years progress. Chrome is e...

In 1994, Marc Anderseen invented a new way to search and retrieve information from the Internet: the Netscape Navigator. Netscape’s rising sales and the phenomenal growth of the Internet make its shares go through the roof and even before the Company had any profit; it was valued at $2.7 billion. However, the scenario didn’t go that well for so long and a very powerful and ambitious man came into the picture. Bill Gates put 2,000 of his best programmers to create a browser of his own: The Explorer. The battle of the browsers officially started; Microsoft’s share of the browser market increased from 2.9 percent at the end of 1995 to more than 40 percent by the end of 1997, while Netscape’s market share fell to 54 percent.

The Internet history began with development of the computers. First message was sent over the ARPaNet (The Advanced Research Projects Agency Network) from computer science Professor Leonard Kleinrock's laboratory. The ARPaNet in particular led to the development of protocols for internetworking, in which multiple separate networks could be joined together into a network of networks.
Term Paper: The History of the Internet The Internet began like most things in our society, that is to say that the government started it. The Internet started out as an experimental military network in the 1960s. Doug Engelbart prototypes an "Online System" (NLS) which does hypertext browsing, editing, email, and so on. The Internet is a worldwide broadcasting resource used for distributing information and a source for interaction between people on their computers. In 1973, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) initiated a research program to investigate techniques and technologies for interlinking packet networks of various kinds.
The internet has come along way since its birth back in 1969, from its start as a government network to the everyday life; it has proven to be one of the greatest inventions ever discovered. It has helped many people with an array of task ranging from everyday government usage, and personal web pages to the ever so expanding horizons of technology still being produced today. Between the good and the bad, the internet has improved the way of life, and will continue to improve throughout time.
