Brief history of web browsers

The earliest of web browsers is NCSA Mosaic which turned into Netscape. Netscape was widley used until the release of Internet Explorer in 1999 which is still in use today as later versions. Netscape was later developed into an open sources browser which is known as the modern day Mozilla Firefox that was created in 2004.  Several other web browsers were released in the early 1990s and most of them are still used today as later versions. Below is an image of the old AOL start-up menu that some of you may remember literally hearing on your modem courtesy of http://bronteshore.ca/c/38112ee27d62e9229092d945e4ec84b7
