There were web browsers before NCSA Mosaic. I a lot of people get the history wrong due to essentially marketing claims.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_browser

>''The first web browser was invented in 1990 by Tim Berners-Lee. It was called WorldWideWeb and was later renamed Nexus.''

>''In 1993, browser software was further innovated by Marc Andreessen >with the release of Mosaic, "the world's first popular browser"''

Note the word "popular" in the claim. It was mostly true due to Mosaic being popular, but it was also intentionally misleading.
