Mosaic’s birthday: 25 years of the modern web
It feels like the world wide web has had more 25th birthdays than I’ve had hot dinners.
This article marks the 25th anniversary of the Mosaic web browser. You may not have heard for it, and I certainly never used it — it was before my time.
But Mosaic was one of the first graphical browsers, and one of the first to enable people to view images within pages. The makers of Mosaic went on to create Netscape Navigator, which in turn became the basis for Firefox.
