The 1990s

The early days of Web browsers

The first Web browser was created by Tim Berners-Lee in 1990, and it was called « WorldWideWeb ». This browser was very rudimentary, but it laid the foundation for future innovations. Early Web browsers were primarily navigation tools, but they quickly evolved to include page layout, multimedia display, and user interaction features.

The 2000s

The rise of Web browsers

In the 2000s, Web browsers exploded in popularity, with the arrival of browsers such as Internet Explorer, Firefox, Chrome, and Safari. These browsers offered new features, such as tabbed browsing, browser extensions, and better user interface integration. They have also allowed developers to create more advanced websites, with more complex graphics and more sophisticated interactions.

The 2010s

Security and performance challenges

During the 2010s, Web browsers faced increasing security and performance challenges. Phishing, DDos attacks and malware began to be a major threat to browser users, and developers had to create more advanced security mechanisms to protect them. At the same time, websites became increasingly resource-intensive, requiring faster and more efficient browsers.

2010s and Beyond

The Rise of Mobility

In the 2010s and beyond, mobile browsers emerged as a major force in the web browser market. Smartphones and tablets made accessing the Internet easier than ever, and mobile browsers such as Safari, Chrome, and Firefox enabled users to navigate the Web smoothly and efficiently on their mobile devices. Mobile browsers have also brought new features, such as voice search and integration with third-party applications.
