Web Browsers

After doing some research I have found out that the first web browser was called WorldWideWeb but is now known as Nexus to avoid confusion about the software and the WorldWideWeb. It was made by Tom Bernes-Lee in 1991. He wanted to bring together a variety of existing and new software and hardware technologies. The first commercially successful web browser was called Netscape Navigator, later renamed Communicator, then renamed back to just Netscape. The Netscape browser was first in user share until Microsoft Internet Explorer took the lead in 1999 due to its distribution advantage.
