At 22, Marc Andreessen created the first user-friendly web browser. By 24, he was worth over $100M. Then, Bill Gates and Microsoft crushed Andreessen's company. What happened next triggered the biggest tech war of the century. Here's the full story: In 1993, the internet was hard to use until Marc Andreessen and Eric Bina created Mosaic, the first simple web browser. It introduced features like the "back" button, making the internet easier for everyone. In 1994, Marc launched Netscape, which became very popular. But Microsoft saw the threat. In 1995, Microsoft launched Internet Explorer, made it free, and bundled it with Windows. This crushed Netscape. However, Microsoftโ€™s actions led to a big lawsuit in 1998. Microsoft avoided being split into two companies but had to follow strict rules. Netscapeโ€™s biggest legacy? It shared its browser code, leading to Mozilla and Firefox. This battle changed the tech world, clearing the way for companies like Google to grow.
