AirMosaic was an early commercial web browser based on the NCSA Mosaic browser.[2]
The browser won Datamation's Best Product of the Year award for 1994.[3]
The AirMosaic browser was available as part of several packages: the AIR Series, Internet in a Box[2][4] and Mosaic In A Box, and separately.[4] AirMosaic for Windows could also be downloaded as a demo, and then purchased over the Internet as a separate product.[3][5]
Features
Although Mosaic required the user to install Win32s, AirMosaic offered the same feature set as Mosaic as well as several new ones like a configuration menu for not editing an INI file.[4]
Other features included:
- a kiosk mode[4]
- import existing bookmarks from Mosaic[4]
