The First Web Browser - Nexus

The very first web browser was invented by Tim Berners Lee in 1989. It was simply called World Wide Web since it was the only way to see the web then.
He later renamed it to Nexus to distinguish between the program & the abstract information space "www" which was typed in the Uniform Resource Locator (URL).
Nexus was written in Objective C and it would let users browse "http:", "news:", "ftp:" and local "file:" spaces
