While this general sense has been present in jargon for a long time,
the proliferation of browsers for the World Wide Web after 1992 has made
it much more popular and provided a central or default techspeak meaning
of the word previously lacking in hacker usage. Nowadays, if someone
mentions using a `browser' without qualification, one may assume it is
a Web browser.
