History Of The Web
The World Wide Web was created in 1989 by Tim Berners-Lee and his team at CERN in Geneva, Switzerland. They made a standard way for computers to communicate, called HyperText Transfer Protocol (HTTP). Their text-based Web browser was released in January 1992.
The Web became popular quickly with the creation of a browser called Mosaic. Developed by Marc Andreessen and his team at the University of Illinois, Mosaic was released in September 1993. It allowed users to click on links and navigate easily. In April 1994, Andreessen co-founded Netscape Communications Corporation and released Netscape Navigator in December 1994, which became the top browser. That same year, BookLink Technologies introduced InternetWorks, the first browser with tabs.
By the mid-1990s, millions of people were using the Web. Microsoft entered the scene with Internet Explorer (IE) in 1995, based on Mosaic, and included it in Windows 95. This made IE the most popular browser, reducing competition like Netscape.
Apple launched Safari in 2003 as the default browser for Macintosh computers, and later for iPhones (2007) and iPads (2010). Safari 2.0 in 2005 introduced Private Browsing, which did not save website history, downloaded files, or personal information.
History Of The Web
History Of The Web: The World Wide Web (WWW) is the main way people find information on the Internet. The Web lets users access a huge amount of content, including the deep web, the dark web, and the surface web. This content is connected by hyperlinks, which are electronic links that connect related information, making it easy to find.
Hypertext allows users to click on words or phrases to find more information. Hypermedia includes links to images, sounds, animations, and movies. The Web works using the Internet’s client-server format: servers store and send documents when asked, while clients request these documents.
Browser software helps users view these documents. Special browsers, like Tor, let users browse anonymously. Hypertext documents are written in HyperText Markup Language (HTML) and have an online address called a Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
