<Tr> <Th> Website </Th> <Td> www.ncsa.illinois.edu/enabling/mosaic </Td> </Tr> <P> NCSA Mosaic, or simply Mosaic, is the web browser that popularized the World Wide Web and the Internet . It was also a client for earlier internet protocols such as File Transfer Protocol, Network News Transfer Protocol, and Gopher . The browser was named for its support of multiple internet protocols . Its intuitive interface, reliability, Windows port and simple installation all contributed to its popularity within the web, as well as on Microsoft operating systems . Mosaic was also the first browser to display images inline with text instead of displaying images in a separate window . While often described as the first graphical web browser, Mosaic was preceded by WorldWideWeb, the lesser - known Erwise and ViolaWWW . </P> <P> Mosaic was developed at the National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois Urbana - Champaign beginning in late 1992 . NCSA released the browser in 1993, and officially discontinued development and support on January 7, 1997 . However, it can still be downloaded from NCSA . </P> <P> Netscape Navigator was later developed by Netscape, which employed many of the original Mosaic authors; however, it intentionally shared no code with Mosaic . Netscape Navigator's code descendant is Mozilla Firefox . Starting in 1995 Mosaic lost market share to Netscape Navigator, and by 1997 only had a tiny fraction of users left, by which time the project was discontinued . Microsoft licensed Mosaic to create Internet Explorer in 1995 . </P>
