So far I had in my mind that Internet Explorer is the first browser used in the net. Occasionally I searched for the browser history and I found lot of browsers were used in the past and Internet Explorer is the recently developed browser only that too after the Mozilla fire fox.Have you ever used the old browsers and how was the browsing experience? Please refer if you want to know the history of such browsers here: http://www.livinginternet.com/w/wi_browse.htm.

Tim Berners-Lee, who invented the World Wide Web together with Robert Cailliau, built the first working prototype in late 1990 and early 1991. That first prototype consisted of a web browser for the NeXTStep operating system. This first web browser, which was named "WorldWideWeb," had a graphical user interface and would be recognizable to most people today as a web browser.

There are site statistics for January 2009 on who is using what browser on this page here:-
http://www.bukisa.com/art...

You will see that Internet Explorer has 66% of the market and 25.5% of visitors used Firefox.

Also interesting to see is that one visitor still uses IE v2.0!! That must be one old computer!!

I went through the link and found the statistics are very informative and we are able to analyze the usage of the browsers as the study is latest one(Just taken two months back).Thanks for the informative response and I have book marked that page for some reference in future.

The first browser I ever used, as with most people I guess, was Internet Explorer, although I did often dally with Netscape Navigator. I've tried others including Opera, and Safari when using my wife's Mac. I currently use Firefox, although I'm just about to start using one based on the LCARS interface from STAR TREK, which looks absolutely fantastic.

Today there is huge list of the browsers but in early times i think the first browser was the netscape as from some of my ideas before that browser some browsetrs where like working with commands which was very difficult to work on and only suited for the masters of computers


myLot reputation of 81/100. kumarpslv (1888)   ranked 210 out of 13,142 in internet  3 years ago

Yes.I red today about the browser which was working with commands and it is sure, we can not work if that is available now.We are looking for the easiest way in every thing we are involving.Thanks for your response
