web-browsers Logos and Brands

The plural form in the name of the “Web Browsers” section suggests a panoramic overview of browser logos from the pioneers of the internet to modern alternatives. Mosaic (1993), Netscape Navigator (1994), Internet Explorer (1995), and Mozilla Firefox (2004) defined eras of web browsing, while Brave, Vivaldi, and Arc bring fresh ideas of privacy, customization, and tab management to the section. The browser wars of the 1990s between Netscape and Microsoft, followed by Chrome’s dominance in the 2010s, shaped a landscape where control over the browser means control over the user’s point of entry to the internet. The logos in this section capture three decades of evolution of a tool that has gone from a simple HTML page viewer to an operating environment.
