Ajax Basics Tutorial (1)-ajax Introduction 1.2 Browser history

When it comes to web browsers, most people think about the ubiquitous Microsoft Internet Explorer, and until recently browsers like Firefox, Safari and Opera have become more and more so. Many beginners may mistakenly think IE is the first browser on the market. In fact, the first web browser came from the hands of Berners-lee, which he created for the next computer (the Web browser originally named WorldWideWeb, later renamed Nexus), and was released to CERN for use in 1990. Berners-lee and Jean-francois Groff transplanted WorldWideWeb to C and renamed the browser Libwww. Many browsers emerged in the early 1990s, including the Nicola Pellow script browser (which allows users of any system to access the Internet, from UNIX to Microsoft Dos), and Samba, This is the first Macintosh-facing browser.

The UNIX version of Mosaic was released by Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina of the National Center for Supercomputing Applications at the University of Illinois at Urbana-champaign in February 1993. A few months later, Aleks Totic released the Macintosh version of Mosaic, which made mosaic the first Cross-platform browser, quickly popularized and became the most popular web browser [1]. The technology was later sold to Spyglass, which was eventually subsumed under Microsoft's door and applied to Internet Explorer.

In the 1993, Kansas University's developers wrote a text-based browser called Lynx, which became the standard for character terminals. In 1994, a group in Oslo, Norway, developed opera, and by 1996 the browser was widely used. December 1994, Netscape released the 1.0 version of Mozilla, the first profitable browser from the birth. Another open source version was released in 2002, which eventually developed into a popular Firefox browser that was released in November 2004.

When Microsoft publishes Windows 95 o'clock, IE 1.0 is published as part of the Microsoft Plus! Package. Although the browser is integrated with the operating system, most people insist on using Netscape, Lynx, or opera. IE 2.0 has been greatly improved by adding support for cookies, Secure Sockets Layer (Secure Socket LAYER,SSL), and other emerging standards. Version 2.0 is also available for the Macintosh, making it the first Cross-platform browser for Microsoft. However, most users are still very persistent and still insist on using their idiomatic browsers.

But by the summer of 1996, Microsoft had released IE version 3.0. Almost overnight, people crowded into ie. At the time, Netscape's browser was charged, and Microsoft provided IE for free. With regard to the browser area who is the main ups and downs, the internet community has polarized, many people worry that Microsoft will be like in the desktop domain, in the web domain also eminence. Some have taken security into account-and as expected, the first security issue was reported 9 days after the release of version 3.0. But by 1999, when IE 5 o'clock was released, it had become the most widely used browser.
