NCSA Mosaic was the predecessor to Netscape and Mozilla, and I think was the first browser to offer inline images. I remember going to Interop in 1993 and everyone was blown away by the demo of Mosaic and its inline images showing O'Reilly's GNN (Global Network Navigator) site. Somewhere, I might still have an advertising card the O'Reilly folks were handing out about it. You can see more here (and yes, bizarrely, wood-cut-look icons were a big design fashion trend for a period in the early '90s. Sun's TOPS used them extensively, too...) https://www.oreilly.com/gnn/ https://www.oreilly.com/gnn/ That said, there were several earlier browsers that could opened image tags in another window or app - Viola, Cello, etc. (Even Lynx, which still exists for some bizarre reason...) As hard as it will be for the younger crowd to believe, at that time every new web site on the Internet got posted to the NCSA "What's New" page, so people would know what all's out there!
