But I'm sure there were GUI browsers inspired or directly derived from Mosaic available on Linux at the time, I just don't know what they were. I do vaguely remember some <a class="hashtag" href="https://fediverse.keithzg.ca/tag/netscape" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Netscape</a> versions being ported over in the late 90s?<br><br><a class="hashtag" href="https://fediverse.keithzg.ca/tag/konqueror" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Konqueror</a> was probably even inspired in some ways by Internet Explorer to be entirely honest — by the time I encountered it in the early 2000s it was already a full browser of both the web *and* of filesystems (both local and network)! Which naturally meant tabbed file browsing and pane-splitting and such, which blew my mind at the time and which most other systems *still* haven't fully caught up with. If you had told me at the time that Microsoft would eventually switch to using <a class="hashtag" href="https://fediverse.keithzg.ca/tag/khtml" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KHTML</a> before they finally added tabs to Windows Explorer I would have laughed at your outlandish science-fiction tale; history takes strange turns.
