The Development of Web Browser

The Development of Web Browser
A web browser is a software program that interprets the coding language of the World Wide Web in the form of graphs, showing the translation rather than coding. This allows everyone to "browse the web" by a simple point and click navigation, bypassing the need to know the commands used in software languages.

The World Wide Web is written in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML). Seen with software other than a Web browser, HTML does not look like a graphic translation. For a peek, right click on any empty space on the web page.

A small pop-up menu will appear. Select the View Page Source in FireFox, or View Source in Microsoft Internet Explorer (IE). Once finished viewing the HTML coding, click the closed window to return to the Web browser window.

The success of the first graphical web browser, Mosaic, written by Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina in 1992 and released in 1993. At that time, only the graphics of popular online services offered by the Prodigy, America Online (AOL), and Compuserv.

These companies are closed network available their own content, message boards, email programs, and interface, and does not provide access to the Internet.

Mosaic Web browser was originally opened to the public Internet. It provides a fun way to navigate the World Wide Web and free for personal use. To compete with the appeal of a worldwide network of Internet, closed networks have introduced a pipe to the Internet and provides a graphical Web browsers interpret HTML.

At the time this happened in the mid 1990s, Andreessen has partnered with Jim Clark, founder of Silicon Graphics former, to create a new flagship Web browser called Netscape.

Well, Netscape is a web browser and the option to keep Microsoft from pre-packaging their own Web browser into the Windows operating system. Internet Explorer (IE) is lower than

Netscape in many ways, especially criticized for ongoing security problems, a lot of bugs in it, and the lack of in accordance with standard Web protocols.

While this turned off many online communities, and new computer users who know too little to notice or care. In 1998, Internet Explorer dominates the Web browser market as used everywhere, due in large part to Microsoft's ability to pre-load the latest Windows computer systems.

At the same time, Netscape, later known as Netscape Communicator, released the source code to the public. Web browser to go through massive rewrite over the next few years. It appears as an open source web browser known as Mozilla, under Mozilla Organization, then owned by AOL. In 2003, AOL supervision passed to the newly created Mozilla Foundation, which was renamed the Web browser to Phoenix and then to FireFox.

While the Web browser market Microsoft held unparalleled in size from 1998 to 2003, production increased to more effective IE stopped. On the other hand Mozilla / Phoenix / FireFox a Web browser choice among savvy computer users. Expanded feature set, enhanced functions, improve adherence to standards, and higher security makes it superior in many ways to IE 6.0.

Some people believe that a growing share of the market will lead to FireFox and is once again influenced the development of Windows Internet Explorer (WIE) version 7.0, which will be released in the fall of 2006. Web browser wars began to surface.

Because, FireFox appeal is that it is an open source project in accordance with the standards of the Internet and protocols. It is not only invite competition, but the coding can be checked by anyone, which also benefits the community.

Programmers located all over the world can communicate online, public forum to discuss the gap, the back door, bugs, and other vulnerabilities in Mozilla that regularly provide patch repair in a timely manner.

Microsoft Internet Explorer is free to download from Microsoft.com. Mozilla FireFox Web Browser free from Mozilla.org. Then there Lunascape that combines both. World's increasingly crowded. History of the web browser war now underway in the use of mobile devices such as Android vs iOS.
