After all&comma; the only thing that’s real and constant in this world is change&comma; and being able to keep up with it is really an achievement&period; This is what I like about websites and their <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;old&period;teamasia&period;com&sol;importance-web-browser&sol;">chosen way of access on the internet&&num;8217&semi;s web browser<&sol;a>&period; Through time&comma; <strong>web design<&sol;strong> has always been so flexible&comma; agile&comma; and ready for any transformation&period; Thanks to technology&comma; it never lagged behind all the digital innovations of today&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading" style&equals;"font-size&colon;25px">The Era of Mosaic Web Browser <&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The need to access the World Wide Web &lpar;www&rpar; began in 1990 &&num;8212&semi; the time when the Internet started to take form&period; Back then&comma; the only way to access the internet was through the <strong>WorldWideWeb browser <&sol;strong>&lpar;which was later in its years it renamed to <strong>Nexus<&sol;strong>&rpar;&period; The servers that hosted the internet grew exponentially after its release&period; Through time&comma; it developed the ability to also incorporate imagery on its web browsers&period; <&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">In 1993&comma; the <strong>Mosaic<&sol;strong> web browser hopped on the internet train and became a popular tool for surfing textual and image libraries&period; Then&comma; from 1994 to 1995 browsers started to improve with the help of Netscape Navigator and Internet Explorer&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading" style&equals;"font-size&colon;25px">The Founding of the Modern Browsers<&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">As innovations in technology continued&comma; the internet expanded its library of information&period; More web browsers were developed to keep up with the changing capabilities of the websites&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">The early 2000s saw the rise of the Mozilla project with <strong><a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;firefox&period;com&sol;">Firefox<&sol;a><&sol;strong> becoming its most popular version&period; The <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;opera&period;com&sol;" target&equals;"&lowbar;blank" rel&equals;"noreferrer noopener"><strong>Opera browser<&sol;strong><&sol;a>&comma; which was first released in 1996&comma; became a staple as well not just on desktop computers but also on handheld devices and gaming platforms &&num;8211&semi; most notably on the Nintendo systems&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">In an unprecedented move at that time&comma; Microsoft included Internet Explorer into its Operating System &lpar;OS&rpar; bundle as part of the core software and discontinued its compatibility with the Macintosh operating system&period;&nbsp&semi; This pushed Macintosh’s developer &&num;8211&semi; Apple &&num;8211&semi; to create its own browser&colon; <strong><a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;apple&period;com&sol;ph&sol;safari&sol;">Safari<&sol;a><&sol;strong>&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">As years passed&comma; more and more browsers were either deemed obsolete or have been improved significantly&period; In 2008&comma; <strong>Google Chrome <&sol;strong>was released along with Mozilla Firefox 3 which started a whole new series of upgrades that allowed users to access several HTML improvements through the course of the decade&period; More and more browsers started to adhere to the <a href&equals;"https&colon;&sol;&sol;www&period;w3&period;org&sol;standards&sol;" target&equals;"&lowbar;blank" rel&equals;"noreferrer noopener">W3 standards<&sol;a>&comma; which is how HTML improvements are being interpreted by the web servers&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading" style&equals;"font-size&colon;25px">Then came Smartphones<&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">As communication technology continues to advance&comma; so has the demand to access information on the internet&period; With the Android OS and iOS being added to most phones today&comma; the birth of smartphone internet browsing also birthed mobile responsiveness&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">Subdomains were added to the practice of web design to have a look and feel that fit smartphone screens&period; But even that technology was upgraded to HTML 4 &amp&semi; 5 and CSS techniques <strong>&commat;media rules<&sol;strong> that eventually evolved to the use of <strong>bootstrap CSS<&sol;strong> &&num;8212&semi; which is now standard in implementing mobile responsiveness into websites&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading" style&equals;"font-size&colon;25px">Conclusion<&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">These technological advances&comma; along with the creativity that comes with it&comma; allowed a plethora of websites to be accessed both on desktops and mobile devices&period; Big websites online&comma; like social media giants Facebook and Twitter&comma; implemented mobile views for those not accessing them via their apps&period; Knowledge sites such as Wikipedia also made their sites adaptable to mobile screens&period; Even building websites evolved by implementing a mobile-first approach to its conceptualization&comma; design&comma; and development to better fit into today’s views&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">It was a welcoming development&period; Website statistics showed that most websites today are mostly viewed with mobile devices rather than desktops or laptop computers&period; And&comma; as people tend to shift away from bulky screens for the screens in the palm of their hands&comma; one has to think that this is the current trend in this ever-changing world&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<h2 class&equals;"wp-block-heading" style&equals;"font-size&colon;25px">Want to Make Sure Your Web Design is Up to Date&quest;<&sol;h2>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p class&equals;"wp-block-paragraph">TeamAsia is an organization that has seen the evolution of screens from the simple days of text browsers to the intricate designs formed on mobile devices&period;
