In 1992 Joseph Hardin and Dave Thompson worked at the
NCSA (national Center for Supercomputer Applications ), a research institute at university of Illinois.When they heard about Tim Berners-lee's work,they downloaded the violaWWW browser, and they demonstrated the web to NCSA's software design group by connecting to the web server at CERN over the internet. The Group was duly impressed.

Marc Andreessen and his team invented
Mosaic the first popular Web browser, which greatly helped spread use and knowledge of the web across the world.
Two student from the group, Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina ,began work on a browser version for X-windows on unix computers, first released as version 0.5 on January 23,1993. His release message was forwarded to newsgroups by Berners-Lee six days later, seeding subsequent redistribution and wider awareness. Bing provide expert coding support. Andreessen provide excellent customer support,monitoring the newsgroups continuously to ensure they knew about and could fix any bugs and make desired enhancements.
A version of Mosaic for the Macintosh was developed by Alex topic and released a few months later, making Mosaic the first Browser with cross-platform support.
One of the NCSA's mission is to aid scientific research by producing noncommercial software, giving Hardin and Thimpson a ready-made vehicle to set up a funded project to develop Mosaic as free, publicly available browser,managed by Hardin, and with andreessen as the software lead.
Mosaic build on Bernes-Lee's server, and provided support for graphics,sound and video clips. An early version introduced forms support, enabling many powerful new user and applications.innovations with use of bookmarks and history files were added.Mosaic quickly became the most popular web browser, helping accelerate the growth in web even more.
in August 1994, NCSA assigned all comercial rights to mosaic to spyglass inc.spyglass subsequently licensed their technology to several other companies, including Microsoft for use in internet explorer.
the NCSA stopped developing Mosaic in January 1997,since Netscape and Microsoft began to bring large development teams to bear on development of their own browsers.
exactly not the very first one but the best one at that time
