MacWWW, also known as Samba,[5][6][7] is an early minimalist web browser from 1992 meant to run on Macintosh computers. It was the first web browser for the classic Mac OS platform, and the first for any non-Unix operating system. MacWWW tries to emulate the design of WorldWideWeb.[5] Unlike modern browsers it opens each link in a new window only after a double-click.[3] It was a commercial product from CERN and cost 50 European Currency Units[6]
The browser is no longer available from its original ftp location, but can still be downloaded from mirrors.[A 1]
