TOP 5 FREE MOBILE WEB BROWSER APPS FOR ANDROID

Commonly called browsers, web browsers are software applications which one can use to access, transfer or communicate information over internet protocols basically the World Wide Web (www). 

What we commonly call or know as a Web Page (these are information packages which contain photos, text, audio or video content) is formally called a Universal Resource Identifier (URL).

Browsers are not only designed to function over WWW protocols but are structured to work on private system networks, FTP and web protocol servers. Hyperlinks are more like bridges or roadmaps which forward users to their desired destination or webpage over either a public or private domain or network. 

All thanks to Sir Tim Berners-Lee for designing the world's first web browser in 1990. Called the Father of the 'World Wide Web' Sir Tim Berners-Lee  Founder of the World Wide Web Foundation and currently the director of the World Wide Web Consortium which is the organization laden with the task to oversee the consistent development of the web.

Sir Tim Berners-Lee's browser on inception was called the WorldWideWeb but it metamorphosed into NEXUS and was pre-installed on NeXT Computers. 

Subsequently, other web browsers came in light; the world's first popular web browser was designed by Marc Andreessen and it was called the MOSAIC browser, which was released in 1993 for public use. The Mosaic browser was so easy to use which made it very widely accepted globally unlike its predecessor the Erwise browser which was designed by Robert Caillau. The Mosaic was the trigger that set the trend of a rapid boom of the internet in the 1990s. Being a graphical browser (not just a text-based one) the Mosaic caused the very first global web explosion where everyone saw the need to be online and heralded the advent of the NETSCAPE NAVIGATOR web browser in 1994 which became the world's all-time most popular web browser ever.
