Internet Browsers
Internet Explorer, Chrome, Netscape, and Safari, these are a few examples of some of the web browsers that are used throughout the world. These web browsers have become even more common as the years have gone by. People use them in their everyday life to accomplish tasks that they need to get done. The beginning of this profitable and popular invention all started back in 1990.
Internet browsers have been around for the last 23 years. The first browser to be invented in 1990 was called the World Wide Web and then later was renamed to Nexus. The inventor that created the first web browser was named Tim Berners-Lee. (Wikipedia) This project started out as just a research project and then later was used to make money. As years pass there were different browsers that started to emerge, such as Microsoft, Netscape, Firefox, etc.
Five years after the first internet browser was invented, Microsoft and Netscape were competing for the top browser throughout the world in what was called, at the time, a browser war. During the browser war Windows stock went up to 95 percent because they gained user superiority (Wikipedia). The table below was collected from W3Schools. The table shows the percentage for each web browser and shows which ones were the most popular for each month over the past year.
