Web Browsers
A Browser is a program which lets you open a hypertext document. The browser allows you to view the contents of nodes (or 'pages') and of navigating from one page to another regardless of where in the world the computers which have these pages are based. Netscape, and Microsoft's Explorer have become the main competitors for the WWW browser market, having taken over from the Mosaic software originally developed by CERN. Netscape has over 80% of the Browser market and its two originators (one a US college student) are now millionaires. Both Netcape and Microsoft provide the basic software for free and it can be downloaded directly from the sites on the Web. Netscape makes its money by encouraging people to pay for an upgrade of their software to their "Gold" version which has additional facilities.
