Before #NCSA #Mosaic, #Netscape and all modern browser nonsense, there was #Erwise browser. Erwise was released in April 1992 and it was a thesis project from 4 Helsinki University of Technology (now called #aaltouniversity) students. The project stalled when the people behind it graduated and moved to new things, and no funding for continuing the project was found.
Apparently there was some external interest to continue the project, but all documentation being in Finnish stymied such attempts. Some estimates suggest that this delayed development of world wide web by about a year. #www #earlydays
