A web browser is used for creating and displaying content on the World Wide Web.

The first web browser, WorldWideWeb, later renamed Nexus, was first released on December 25, 1990.

The World Wide Web was released to research institutions outside CERN beginning in January 1991.

It was released to the general public in August 1991 and, through web browsers, quickly became the most widely used method to access the internet.
