InternetExplorer is a web browser launched by Microsoft. Originally called Microsoft Internet Explorer (before version 6) and Windows Internet Explorer (versions 7, 8, 9, 10,1), abbreviated as IE.
Before IE7, Chinese literally translated as "network pathfinder", but after IE7, it was officially called "IE browser".
IE development plan began in the summer of 1994, and Microsoft boycotted the mainstream Netscape browser (Netscape? Navigator), develop your own browser in Windows.
So Microsoft cooperated with Spyglass, and IE was derived from an early commercial patent web browser SpyglassMosaic. Although SpyglassMosaic is very similar to NCSAMosaic, SpyglassMosaic is relatively unknown and uses a small amount of source code of NCSAMosaic.
