Practical No 1 19.05

The first web browser was created in 1990 by Tim Berners-Lee and was called World Wide Web. In 1993, Mosaic was released and its graphical interface made the web easy to use, sparking rapid growth. Netscape Navigator and Microsoft Internet Explorer competed in the 1990s browser wars. Firefox was released in 2004 by Mozilla. Google Chrome became the most popular browser in 2008 and has remained dominant since. A web browser allows users to access websites, while a search engine provides links to websites from search queries. The first search engine was Archie, created in 1990.

WEB BROWSER

Definition:-

A web browser (commonly referred to as a browser) is application software for accessing


the World Wide Web. When a user requests a web page from a particular website, the web
browser retrieves the necessary content from a web server and then displays the page on the
user's device.A web browser is not the same thing as a search engine, though the two are often
confused. A search engine is a website that provides links to other websites. However, to connect
to a website's server and display its web pages, a user must have a web browser installed.Web
browsers are used on a range of devices, including desktops, laptops, tablets, and smartphones.
In 2020, an estimated 4.9 billion people used a browser. [4] The most used browser is Google
Chrome, with a 64% global market share on all devices, followed by Safari with 19%.

HISTORY:-
The first web browser, called World Wide Web, was created in 1990 by Sir Tim Berners-Lee He
then recruited Nicola Pellow to write the Line Mode Browser, which displayed web pages
on dumb terminals; it was released in 1991.
1993 was a landmark year with the release of Mosaic, credited as "the world's first popular
browser".[9] Its innovative graphical interface made the World Wide Web system easy to use and
thus more accessible to the average person. This, in turn, sparked the Internet boom of the 1990s,
when the Web grew at a very rapid rate.[9] Marc Andreessen, the leader of the Mosaic team, soon
started his own company, Netscape, which released the Mosaic-influenced Netscape
Navigator in 1994. Navigator quickly became the most popular browser.
Microsoft debuted Internet Explorer in 1995, leading to a browser war with Netscape. Microsoft
was able to gain a dominant position for two reasons: it bundled Internet Explorer with its
popular Windows operating system and did so as freeware with no restrictions on usage.
Eventually the market share of Internet Explorer peaked at over 95% in 2002.
In 1998, Netscape launched what would become the Mozilla Foundation to create a new browser
using the open source software model. This work evolved into the Firefox browser, first released
by Mozilla in 2004. Firefox reached a 28% market share in 2011. Apple released
its Safari browser in 2003. It remains the dominant browser on Apple devices, though it did not
become popular elsewhere.
Google debuted its Chrome browser in 2008, which steadily took market share from Internet
Explorer and became the most popular browser in 2012.[13][14] Chrome has remained
dominant ever since.
In 2011, the HTTPS Everywhere extension was released, and the NoScript extension received
numerous awards. The same year, Mozilla launched the stable version of Tor Firefox for
navigating the dark web.Microsoft released its Edge browser in 2015 as part of the Windows
10 release. (Internet Explorer is still used on older versions of Windows.)
In terms of technology, browsers have greatly expanded their HTML, CSS, JavaScript,
and multimedia capabilities since the 1990s. One reason has been to enable more sophisticated
websites, such as web applications. Another factor is the significant increase
of broadband connectivity, which enables people to access data-intensive web content, such
as YouTube streaming, that was not possible during the era of dial-up modems.

Search Engine
Definition:-

A search engine is a software system that is designed to carry out web searches (Internet


searches), which means to search the World Wide Web in a systematic way for particular
information specified in a textual web search query. The search results are generally presented in
a line of results, often referred to as search engine results pages (SERPs) The information may be
a mix of links to web pages, images, videos, infographics, articles, research papers, and other
types of files. Some search engines also mine data available in databases or open directories.
Unlike web directories, which are maintained only by human editors, search engines also
maintain real-time information by running an algorithm on a web crawler. Internet content that is
not capable of being searched by a web search engine is generally described as the deep web.
