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,[citation needed] Internet in a Box[2][4] and Mosaic In A Box[citation needed] 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]
