Browsers and Search Engines Quiz

Browsers and Search Engines Quiz takes you back to 1993, when the world’s first graphical web browser, Mosaic, quietly reshaped how people experienced the internet. Before Mosaic, browsing meant typing commands, no tabs, no images, and no clickable links. Mosaic introduced point and click navigation, which later inspired browsers like Netscape and Internet Explorer. What we now take for granted opening multiple sites, bookmarking pages, or hitting refresh, started from these humble beginnings. This search engines quiz builds on that digital journey in a short and engaging way. Without overwhelming you, it revisits familiar concepts and helps you rethink how search and browsers really work in daily life. Simple, fun, and filled with small “aha” moments, this quiz is more enjoyable than you’d expect.
