The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (30 December 2018):

Mosaic

    NCSA's browser (client) for the
   web.

   Mosaic has been described as "the killer application of the
   1990s" because it was the first program to provide a slick
   multimedia graphical user interface to the Internet's
   burgeoning wealth of distributed information services
   (formerly mostly limited to FTP and Gopher) at a time when
   access to the Internet was expanding rapidly outside its
   previous domain of academia and large industrial research
   institutions.

   NCSA Mosaic was originally designed and programmed for the X
   Window System by Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina at NCSA.
   Version 1.0 was released in April 1993, followed by two
   maintenance releases during summer 1993.  Version 2.0 was
   released in December 1993, along with version 1.0 releases for
   both the Apple Macintosh and Microsoft Windows.  An
   Acorn Archimedes port is underway (May 1994).

   Marc Andreessen, who created the NCSA Mosaic research
   prototype as an undergraduate student at the University of
   Illinois left to start Mosaic Communications Corporation
   along with five other former students and staff of the
   university who were instrumental in NCSA Mosaic's design and
   development.
