hypertext, on-line documentation, or a database. While this general sense

has been present in jargon for a long time, the proliferation of browsers
|
||
for the World Wide Web after 1992 has made it much more popular and
|
||
provided a central or default techspeak meaning of the word previously
|
||
lacking in hacker usage. Nowadays, if someone mentions using a
|

‘browser’ without qualification, one may assume it is a Web

browser.</p></dd><div class="navfooter"><hr/><table width="100%" summary="Navigation footer"><tr><td width="40%" align="left"><a accesskey="p" href="brown-paper-bag-bug.html">Prev</a> </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="u" href="../B.html">Up</a></td><td width="40%" align="right"> <a accesskey="n" href="BRS.html">Next</a></td></tr><tr><td width="40%" align="left" valign="top">brown-paper-bag bug </td><td width="20%" align="center"><a accesskey="h" href="../index.html">Home</a></td><td width="40%" align="right" valign="top"> BRS</td></tr></table></div></body></html>
