Abstract

The first browser was built by Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. With the growing popularity of the Web, many more were released, and given the economic implications of having a dominating browser, strong competition occurred between the companies developing them. This competition has been at times so fierce as to deserve being called the “browser wars.” In this chapter, we consider the evolution and success of Web browsers such as Mosaic, Netscape, Internet Explorer, and Chrome.
