This is [NCSA Mosaic](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mosaic_(web_browser)), one
|
2012-03-16 01:36:21 +00:00
|
|
|
of the first graphical web browsers. This version has barely been modified
|
|
|
|
since the last official release, version 2.7 beta 6, in 1996. You may also be
|
|
|
|
interested in [Mosaic-CK](http://www.floodgap.com/retrotech/machten/mosaic/)

|
2012-03-16 01:36:21 +00:00
|
|
|
been substantially improved from the original.

[Alan Dipert](https://github.com/alandipert) took the last release of Mosaic, put it
|
2012-03-16 01:36:21 +00:00
|
|
|
on Github, and made some fixes. [Tim Pizey](http://pizey.net/~timp/) modified
|
|
|
|
it so that in-document javascript is not displayed.
