What was the first web browser you ever used?

[Fingolfin269]

Netscape something using... winsock? I can't quite remember but I think winsock was how I was able to get the glorious pictures to show up.

Trumpet winsock was a free TCP/IP stack for Windows 3.x back when MS didn't have it built into the OS. I still have the disks for a package I bought back then called NetManage Chameleon which installed TCP/IP connectivity and had apps for telnet, gopher, ftp, and even a browser IIRC.

Netscape for sure.

My first ISP was GNN (Global Network Navigator) probably around 1995. I believe we started out with an ancient version of IE and I downloaded Netscape version ?.

 

[mugs]

Mosaic. I used AOL first, but they didn't have a web browser back then. They offered FTP, Usenet, I think Gopher, and maybe a few other things.

 

[JDub02]

mosaic then netscape

 

[sdifox]

Mosaic. Unless you want to count Gopher

 

[KeithTalent]

Netscape, but I don't recall which version.
