Awesome Frank!
Mine was a PERL script that served up Gopher File Trees as HTML
via HTTP when the only graphical browser was on the NeXT. You
should have heard the screams when after a couple of years, we
quit serving up the old Gopher trees, there was no new content
there to speak of, but there were folks who insisted we should
stick to a strict list-hierarchy format with no formatting and no
graphics.
Here is the first HTML page I ever created in
1992(?).
http://www.Phil.CMU.edu/~wimberly/
View source. It may also be the last. I changed the
photo and added to the publications list. I added the applet in
about 1996. I am surprised it still renders.

Not web browsers, as the web didn't exist, but hypertext
browsers,
sure. Actually, I was impressed that hypertext BBS browsers
exited
back then - I don't remember anything of the sort from the
'80s, but
then I really didn't inhabit the BBS scene. It was all ftp and
archie
(the '80s equivalent of google) and usenet (the '80s
equivalent of
facebook) then.
The first thing that 'might' be called a web browser would be
gopher,
but even that was more or less contemporaneous with the first
http servers.
