MacWWW, also known as Samba, 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 tried to emulate the design of WorldWideWeb. Unlike modern browsers it opened each link in a new window only after a double-click. It was a commercial product from CERN and cost 50 European Currency Units
The browser is no longer available from its original ftp location, but can still be downloaded from mirrors.
