Articles about Internet Browser

An internet browser or web browser commonly referred to as a browser is a software application used for accessing the World Wide Web, commonly known as the Internet. A browser's role is to fetch a requested webpage from a website. Webpages themselves are hosted on servers associated with various domain names. Fundamentally, browsers can be called humankind's interface with the Internet. As of 2020, it is estimated that 4.9 billion people in the world use a web browser. Google's Chrome web browser is known to be the world's most popular browser. The world's first web browser was simply named WorldWideWeb. It was the brainchild of Sir Tim Berners-Lee who created it in 1990. By 1993, a browser called Mosaic provided users an innovative graphical interface with it for granted today. Browsers have undoubtedly played a key role in the Internet boom of the 1990s. The leader of the Mosaic team, Mark Andreessen eventually started his own company called Netscape. By 1994, Netscape Navigator had become the world's most popular browser. As of 2021, Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome, Internet Explorer, and Apple's Safari are the browsers most commonly found in use.
