Release of Mosaic Web Browser

Date: January 23, 1993 • Location: Rome, Italy

The first version of Mosaic, created by Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina, was released, becoming the first popular web browser.

NCSA Mosaic, colloquially Mosaic, is a discontinued web browser that was instrumental in popularizing the World Wide Web and the general Internet during the 1990s. Although not the first web browser, it was the first browser to display images inline with text instead of a separate window.
