Tim Berners-Lee proposed creating a global hypertext project in 1989 that became the World Wide Web. During 1991-1993, the first text-only web pages and browsers were created. In 1993, Mosaic browser was created, breaking from text-heavy browsers by integrating images. The W3C was formed in 1994 to standardize web protocols. Throughout the late 1990s, Microsoft and Netscape competed for browser dominance through the "browser wars".
