Ask Candid Candice a question about Moo Canada:
Web browsers.
A web browser is a program that you can run on your computer that will
display pages from the World Wide Web. You are using a web browser right
now to look at this page. There are many popular web browsers:
- Lynx
- Lynx was one of the first web browsers. It is text-only, so it can't
display pictures, however it can run on almost any computer. Most FreeNets use Lynx because it doesn't require a
very powerful computer.
- Mosaic
- Mosaic was the first popular graphical web browser. It was created by
NSCA so that people could use the new WWW Internet protocol to its full
advantage.
- Netscape
- Netscape is a browser that extended the WWW with a large number of
custom tags. It is one of the most popular graphical browsers since many
web sites are designed to look best when using Netscape.
- Explorer
- Microsoft's Internet Explorer is the most recent addition to the list of
popular web browsers. It is virtually identical to Netscape's browser at the
moment.
Other browsers include HotJava (first to use Java), the Emacs W3 browser (text-only),
and Arachne (graphical browser for DOS). Most of these browsers may be downloaded
from the Internet for free, see
Yahoo's browser list
for more details.
