Kim Nyberg, Kari Sydänmaanlakka, Teemu Rantanen, and Kati Borgers were the four college students who developed the first graphical point-and-click web browser in Helsinki, Finland, in 1991, and completed it in April 1992. The four developers recently gave an interview detailing Erwise and its history. It was more advanced than Mosaic, ran on the X Window System, but didn’t catch on in the end. Even though Mosaic – the basis for Netscape – certainly kickstarted the web revolution, it wasn’t the first graphical web browser at all – that honour goes to Erwise, developed by four Finnish college students in 1991. Conventional wisdom has it that Mosaic was the first graphical web browser.
