AirMosaic was an early commercial web browser based on the NCSA Mosaic browser.[2]

The browser won Datamation's Best Product of the Year award for 1994.[3]

The AirMosaic browser was available as part of several packages: the AIR Series, Internet in a Box[2][4] and Mosaic In A Box, and separately.[4] AirMosaic for Windows could also be downloaded as a demo, and then purchased over the Internet as a separate product.[3][5]

Features
