And you can read about it in the credits in the Info dialog of IE up to IE6 (and even all later IE and Edge contain anomalies/small glitches from Mosaic that are still present up to this day, nevertheless the code got refactored a lot and Mosaic hasn't been mentioned in IE7+.

- frik 10y agoStart there: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer#History https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_Explorer#History There are various sites that had article about early IE history. And I suggest you to install Mosaic browser on Win7 32bit and try it out yourself - you will see how familiar almost everything is, if you know IE from everyday usage. Not just familiar, but also little things, traits and glitches are still in todays IE and Edge.
