The first graphical web browser was called Mosaic. It was released in 1993 and played a crucial role in popularizing the World Wide Web. Mosaic’s user-friendly interface, which displayed images alongside text, made the web more accessible and visually appealing to a broader audience.
Precursors to the web browser emerged in the form of hyperlinked applications during the mid and late 1980s, and following these, Tim Berners-Lee is credited with developing, in 1990, both the first web server, and the first web browser, called WorldWideWeb (no spaces) and later renamed Nexus.
