The Browser Wars- how they started and where they are going

Which browser do you use? Chrome? Internet Explorer? Safari? Well, I bet none of you use the first ever net browser, and I don't blame you. The first net browser was Tim Berners-Lee, who created the WorldWideWeb (this is what causes the www. before domain names). Tim Berners-Lee turned down billions of dollars and made the World Wide Web open source- he gave it away for free. He ran the whole thing on a NeXT computer for a server. In comparison, Google now uses around 1,000,000 servers, which is maybe the equivalent to 900 million NeXT computers!

Mosaic was the most  comercially successful browser- but it wasn't considered that different. Rigt now Chrome is dominating, along with Safari. But where's is it going? Another post is coming!
