{{main|History of the web browser}}
The first web browser was invented in 1990 by Sir [[Tim Berners-Lee]].
The first commonly available web browser with a graphical user interface was [[Erwise]]. The development of Erwise was initiated by [[Robert Cailliau]].
In 1993, browser software was further innovated by [[Marc Andreessen]] with the release of [[Mosaic (web browser)|Mosaic]], "the world's first popular browser",<ref name="bloomberg">{{cite news|url=http://www.bloomberg.com/video/67758394 |title=Bloomberg Game Changers: Marc Andreessen |publisher=Bloomberg |date=17 March 2011 |accessdate=2011-12-07}}</ref> which made the World Wide Web system easy to use and more accessible to the average person. Andreesen's browser sparked the internet boom of the 1990s.<ref name="bloomberg" /> The introduction of Mosaic in 1993 – one of the first graphical web browsers – led to an explosion in web use. Andreessen, the leader of the Mosaic team at [[National Center for Supercomputing Applications]] (NCSA), soon started his own company, named [[Netscape]], and released the Mosaic-influenced [[Netscape Navigator]] in 1994, which quickly became the world's most popular browser, accounting for 90% of all web use at its peak (see [[usage share of web browsers]]).
