What is the first Internet Browser you remember using? (1 Viewer)

[badmojo1006]

Most likely Netscape, can't remember if I used Mosaic,

 

[nightmare]

Webtv. No one could understand how I surfed without a "PC'. 

 

[IrishTwinkie]

I voted Netscape. But I think the likely answer was Mosaic. I know I used Netscape. I am only pretty sure about Mosaic. And I worked for the company that brought everyone Altavista...

Thanks. I feel really old now.

Netscape Navigator.

 

[gianmarco]

No choice for Prodigy?

 

[hagmania]

The one inside the AOL environment. It blew my mind when I learned I could minimize the window and open a different browser.

Webtv. No one could understand how I surfed without a "PC'. 

Same here. I bought mine at Best Buy, and had to sign up for internet at the store because there was no process to do it at home.

What would have been on the computer lab PCs in college in 1991 or 1992?  There was no search engine.  You had to know the addresses.

 

[Ashem]

Lynx. Text based browser I used in the mid 90's at university.

Using Netscape right now. Wish Net Zero was still around for my 40 free hours a month.

I think I have some AOL CD's buried somewhere

This

 

[mr roboto]

What was on the AOL discs?

 

[Don Quixote]

No choice for Prodigy?

I think mine was Prodigy too, but I may have had Prodigy before the browser came along. We switched to CompuServe at some point and remember using Mosaic then.

What ever was buried inside AOL  

I remember someone calling AOL the training wheels to the internet,

[maxwelledison]

AOL

 

[AhrnCityPahnder]

BBS going back to 1991-ish. 

University's intranet in the couple years following that. 

AOL for a stretch in 1996

I remember IE4 being a pretty big deal when that launched, which I guess means I was using 3.x for a while. 

I remember some of the early iterations of Navigator 4.x

We got my mom an Audrey for Christmas one year.    I guess reading that wiki it must have been 2000.  

Regular internet : webTV :: webTV : Audrey

What a spectacular failure that thing was!

 

[rockaction]

Com####erve. I was an early adopter.  

Wait. We delete that?

Lynx. Text based browser I used in the mid 90's at university.

Same. It came before Netscape and IE.

 

[James Daulton]

Web crawler of course.

The Audrey may have been too ahead of its time, I don't think people at that time understood the functions enough to utilize them. 

It also launched at the worst time in history to launch an electronics product.

 

[NewlyRetired]

Netscape in the early/mid 90's was the first I used.

I remember my friend showing me it and I dismissed it quickly going back to the BBS and news groups.  What a visionary I was

To be fair to myself, the effects of the old BBS, and news groups are still felt today on some of the most popular web sites like Reddit.

 

[Osaurus]

Ah Mosaic.  Been a long time.  Lynx before that.
