If someone has a neXt can they download from http://browsers.evolt.org/?worldwideweb/NeXT and get a screen shot of the Wikipedia honme page? Rich Farmbrough 16:34, 29 Jan 2005 (UTC)
(( comment from yanzg-- 08:04, 21 July 2005 (UTC) deleted, since the suggested change has already been made in the main article ... ))
Near the second half of the section on "Features", I would recommend to say something there, about the sense in which Gopher had served, for a time of perhaps a few years, as a software solution that was intermediate between anonymous FTP and HTTP. (In fact, it took a while for Gopher to die, even after it was clear that http was better). Gopher was mostly sorta text-only, including the (hyper) links, but it was still great for its time, (partly because many users were still using DOS, which was also somewhat keyboard-oriented, as opposed to Windows, say) (or GUIs in general). But Gopher was still way more convenient to use than FTP. For example, Veronica was usually a lot easier to use, than Archie. Mike Schwartz 23:20, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
Shouldn't this be renamed to Nexus? As that was the final name of the application itself...
Currently the Wiki states "Berners-Lee wrote WorldWideWeb in Objective-C on a NeXT computer during the second half of 1990." But it also says that the application was launched in 1991. How can the application be launched in the first half of 1990 but written in the second half??
The forward and backward feature mentioned in the trivia section resurfaced in Opera 7. This made use of the rel attribute in link tags to enable forward or backward navigation. I'm not sure if this is worth mentioning. -- David Chisnall 13:58, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

"In this sense, WorldWideWeb can be considered a predecessor to wikis, of which Wikipedia is the most popular." Not only is the last statement in the sentence not backed up by a source, it doesn't seem to be relevant. Should it be removed? 84.27.15.58 19:23, 27 October 2007 (UTC)
I wanted to correct the grammar of this sentence - "WorldWideWeb didn't have features like bookmarks, but a similar feature was presented in the browser: if a link should be saved for later use linking it to you're own home page (start page) and the link was remembered like bookmarks." - but I'm not actually sure what it means!
Is it, as I think, saying that you would create the equivalent to bookmarks in WorldWideWeb by linking to the page you wished to return to from your own home page? (And if that is so, does it mean the browser had a feature to automate the process, or just that users were in the habit of editing their home pages manually to do so?) Because while that would obviously be the ancestor of bookmarks/favorites, it is also a lot more than that: a great illustration of how different the early web was - or was meant to be - from the way we use it today.

Release of LineMode, not WorldWideWeb/Nex US (never publicly released apparently, not more than Eelco van Asperen's version at least). BTW a less Orwellian reference for the beggining than currently available one might be that (none other app mentioned).
", making it free software" : not in 1993, public domain software can be distributed without the source code, or worse, be the base of new non-free software. genium ⟨✉⟩ 07:44, 27 August 2013 (UTC) The beginning of the article says the source code was released in 1991, while the release documents are 30 April 1993. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.102.167.143 ( talk) 12:58, 23 April 2014 (UTC)
The WorldWideWeb icon is 62x55 pixels but is being scaled to 64x57 pixels on the main page, making it look very blurry indeed! I don't know why this is or how to change it though. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 131.162.159.64 ( talk) 19:47, 11 November 2015 (UTC)
