Mosaic

Mosaic is the web browser credited with popularizing the World Wide Web. It was also a client for earlier protocols such as FTP, Usenet, and Gopher. Its clean, easily understood user interface, reliability, Windows port and simple installation all contributed to making it the application that opened up the Web to the general public. Mosaic was also the first browser to display images inline with text instead of displaying images in a separate window. Mosaic was developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) beginning in late 1992. NCSA released the browser in 1993, and officially discontinued development and support on January 7, 1997. However, it can still be downloaded from NCSA

  Actually I think Mosaic and Netscape were two separate groups. If I'm not mistaken it was used as the basis for some other major web browser we know today (like IE or Safari, can't remember).

  Not a lot of sites will even work with this, and those that do, don't even do it that well. Otherwise a great browser.

  It is a wonder that there are people still using this piece of software. Maybe for nostalgia/deja vu reason!
