The first browser I used was IBM Web Explorer for OS / 2 Warp way back in 1996 when I worked at IBM and supported OS / 2

The world wide web has evolved…a lot. And the browsers have had to keep up. Today the big players are IE, Firefox, Google Chrome, Opera among others. What will future browsers look and act like? Just something to ponder. ;D

P.S. Great article. Thanks! :slight_smile:

Since I first got on the net in 1999 with IE4 and Windows 98SE , I missed all of that. I remember there was still an IE vs Netscape battle going on and I tried Netscape and didn’t like it.

Started with Netscape Navigator before IE was born. :wink:

1994 with Mosaic browser was my first surfing experience.

At that time the Net was a really nice place without malware
as far as I remember. (perhaps some malware were present, but
never met them anyway ;)).
