The browser wars have really been heating up again lately. Thanks to Mozila's Firefox, Internet Explorer is no longer the undisputed king, and browsers are popping up all over the place trying grab a piece of the pie. A new browser project called
RockMelt is in development - and
it's backed by Mosaic developer and Netscape founder Marc Andreessen.
Marc Andreessen developed Mosaic together with Eric Bina in 1992 and 1993. Mosaic was the first browser to really bring the internet to the masses, thanks to its easy installation and
usable interface; an interface which has remained more or less unchanged ever since. Mosaic was also the first browser to render images inline. Contrary to popular belief, however,
Mosaic wasn't the first graphical browser.
